2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Bl. 1. Cru Morgeot Blain-Gagnard

(from Les Boirettes and Champ Jendreau). Soft floral-infused aromas display an appealing breadth with nuances of citrus, white and yellow orchard fruit, lavender and a touch of resin. There is excellent richness and mid-palate density to the broad-shouldered flavors that evidence good power and drive on the balanced and satisfying finish. While this is not especially elegant, refinement isn't why one buys Morgeot.

Located behind the abbey, on red clay without stones. White fruit, with excellent depth of flavour, not heavy at all but the right sort of weight, relatively accessible. Very plump, the sort of wine that needs white meat rather than fish. Tasted: October 2018.
