2023 JOSEPH DROUHIN Chassagne MONTRACHET MARQUIS DE LAGUICHE 1ER MORGEOT

(93-94 Points) The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche is excellent offering up aromas of pear orange oil buttered toasted fresh mint and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied satiny and layered it's fresh and racy with good energy for a cuvée that can sometimes be very rich concluding with a saline finish. This historic Beaune négociant house is also an important proprietor in its own right and one that's only growing with the acquisition last year of 20 additional hectares located in Saint-Romain and Saint-Véran. The Drouhin family remains committed to the ideal of elegance and their 2023 reds privilege perfume and sensuality over raw power. The whites always glossy and gourmand also retain good energy this year. Everything reviewed here comes recommended. Published: Jan 30 2025
