Tasting Notes

Here the wood treatment is a bit more obvious with its hints of menthol suffusing the ripe and exotic dried yellow fruit aromas. There is good intensity to the delicious and nicely detailed medium weight flavors that are not super-dense but do offering excellent length on the mildly warm finale. This should repay at least 5 to 8 years of cellaring.

Score: 91

The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Tête du Clos Morgeot 1er Cru comes from part of the climat with more limestone. It has quite a striking, menthol- and licorice-tinged bouquet that revels in the exoticism of the 2019 but does not allow it to impede upon the terroir. The palate is well balanced with pure fruit - passion fruit, tinned pineapple chunks - and a touch of spice and crushed stone toward the finish, which has plenty of extract. There is a sense of fun about this Chassagne that will make it tempting in its youth, but I suspect that its more intellectual side will only be revealed with bottle age.

Score: 90 - 92
