"Pale yellow. Captivating, vibrant aromas of lemon, white flowers, stone, menthol, tarragon and spices. Dense with extract but at the same time penetrating, with lovely mineral cut enlivening the racy lime and lemon flavors. Showed a honeyed spice character after 24 hours in the recorked bottle but I never would have guessed Morgeot. This big, dry, sharply delineated Chassagne tastes like a high-altitude wine."

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
