Joseph Drouhin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche 2021 (750ML)

91-94 JM / 91-93 BH

The Morgeot vineyard of the Marquis de Laguiche suffered badly from the frost. Mid lemon yellow. Quite floral on the nose for this part of the world. Very sound, a solid mass of white fruit, nicely saline behind, very good fruit energy. A little fresh peppery touch too at the finish. Well made. Drink from 2025-2031. Tasted: November 2022.—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Tasting note: This is also quite floral in character, which adds a touch of elegance to the aromas of petrol, rosemary oil and citrus confit. The succulent and caressing yet decidedly powerful medium-bodied flavors also conclude in a bone-dry, citrusy and youthfully austere finale. This is also very well-balanced but quite tightly coiled and a wine that is going to need at least some patience. Worth your interest—Allen Meadows, Burghound
