Joseph Drouhin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche 2020 (750ML)

96 JS / 92-94 VM / 91-93 BH

A super-elegant Chassagne-Montrachet that offers all you want from this appellation, the balance of ripe-lemon character and flinty minerality spot-on. Super-silky and very graceful on the medium-to full-bodied palate. Then the finish doesn't want to stop. Drink or hold.—James Suckling

Tasting note: A deft application of wood frames the overtly floral-suffused nose of petrol, white peach, lemon zest and subtle spice wisps. The medium-bodied flavors are also rich to the point of opulence, yet the firm acid spine saves the balance on the saliva-inducing, long and powerful finish. This fine effort is very Morgeot in character and worth a look. Outstanding.—Allen Meadows, Burghound
