Style

A rich and structured white Burgundy, combining power with balance and elegance. Generous and complex, with classic depth and aging potential.

Vineyard

Located in Chassagne-Montrachet, in the Premier Cru “Morgeot,” on clay-limestone soils. This site is known for producing broader, more powerful wines while retaining balance and minerality.

Winery

Hand-harvested grapes, whole-bunch pressed and fermented with native yeasts. Aged in French oak barrels (partially new) with lees contact, enhancing texture, complexity, and integration.

Nose/Palate

Ripe orchard fruit, citrus, butter, toasted nuts, and subtle spice on the nose, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate with a creamy rounded texture balanced by fresh acidity, ripe fruit, hazelnut and light oak flavors, and a long, rich, elegant finish.

Chassagne-Montrachet is one of the most prestigious villages of the Côte de Beaune, renowned for both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Alongside neighbouring Puligny-Montrachet, it forms the heart of Burgundy’s greatest white-wine terroirs.

The vineyards stretch across limestone and marl soils with varied depths and exposures, creating a broad range of expressions. Chardonnay from Chassagne tends to combine mineral freshness with greater breadth and texture, often giving wines a fuller and more generous character than the more linear style of Puligny-Montrachet.

The wines typically show lemon, pear, white peach and white flowers, with almond, hazelnut, butter and subtle pastry notes developing with age. On the palate, they balance ripe fruit and creamy texture with vibrant acidity and a persistent limestone minerality.

Chassagne is also home to several Grand Cru vineyards, including Le Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet and part of Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, as well as numerous highly regarded Premier Crus.

Historically, Chassagne was strongly associated with both red and white wines, but Chardonnay gradually became increasingly important as the reputation of the Montrachet vineyards grew. Today, the village is one of Burgundy’s benchmarks for refined, age-worthy white Chardonnay.

At its best, Chassagne-Montrachet combines richness and minerality with remarkable balance — broader and more textured than Puligny, yet still precise, fresh and deeply expressive of its limestone terroir.

Morgeot is one of the largest and most historic Premier Cru areas of Chassagne-Montrachet, stretching across the southern part of the village towards Santenay. Its name and history are closely connected with the medieval Cistercian monks, who played an important role in developing the vineyards of this part of Burgundy.

The site is characterised by a complex mix of limestone, marl and clay-rich soils, with variations in depth and exposure across its many individual parcels. This diversity helps explain the broad range of expressions found within Morgeot.

Chardonnay from Morgeot is typically generous, rich and textured, showing ripe citrus, pear, white peach and white flowers, often developing almond, hazelnut and subtle buttery or pastry notes with age. The palate combines a broad, creamy texture with fresh acidity and a persistent mineral backbone.

Compared with the more linear and austere expressions of higher-altitude sites such as Saint-Aubin, Morgeot generally offers greater breadth, ripeness and depth, while retaining the limestone freshness characteristic of Chassagne-Montrachet.

Morgeot has long been recognised as one of Chassagne’s most important Premier Cru terroirs, and its best parcels can produce wines with considerable concentration and ageing potential.

Morgeot is a classic expression of Chassagne-Montrachet — rich, layered and powerful, yet balanced by vibrant acidity, limestone minerality and a long, elegant finish.

2024 was a cool, challenging and fresh vintage in Chassagne-Montrachet, marked by a very wet growing season, frost and reduced yields. The warmer, drier conditions towards harvest were crucial in allowing Chardonnay to reach good maturity while preserving its natural acidity.

The wines show bright lemon, green and yellow apple, pear, white flowers and fresh stone fruit, with a pronounced chalky-mineral character. The palate is energetic and finely textured, with vibrant acidity and a clean, saline finish.

Compared with the warmer 2022 and 2023 vintages, 2024 is more restrained and linear, with less emphasis on richness and greater focus on freshness, precision and terroir expression.

2024 Chassagne-Montrachet is a vibrant and elegant vintage — combining pure Chardonnay fruit, lively acidity and fine limestone minerality with the refined texture characteristic of this great Côte de Beaune village.
