2007 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge, Morgeot 1er Cru, Jean-Noel Gagnard

Morgeot is a key Premier Cru in Chassagne, comprising over 50 hectares all told. Dense, rich and firm, this wine opens out to reveal a fleshy palate with many layers of attractive ripe fruit.

On the nose, one finds a touch of tropical fruit complemented by honeysuckle, Clementine and a hint of acacia, then pear drop. The palate is elegant and with good weight, rounded with a spicy, chalky finish. Excellent. Drink now-2016.
