Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot has a very composed bouquet with citrus fruit, a hint of licorice, rosemary and mineral -- an absolutely gorgeous bouquet. The palate is very well balanced with impressive fruit concentration. There is just a touch of viscosity and it feels harmonious in the mouth with a powerful, lightly honeyed finish that seems to caress. Bon vin!

Good pale yellow. Ripe peach and smoke on the slightly stunted nose. Fat, spicy and very rich; round and horizontal. Not especially strong in acidity but boasts solid dry extract and finishes with a slightly phenolic tannic quality. Seriously rich wine with a spicy aftertaste and good spine. Drinking range: 2019 - 2025 Rating: 91 Stephen Tanzer, www.vinousmedia.com (Sept 2015)
Gorgeous mineral plus sliced pear and apple character. Full and long. Subtle fruit with a creamy texture. Drink or hold. Rating: 93 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Jun 2015)
(from Le Grand Clos and Vignes Blanches). Like the Meursault villages there is a hint of matchstick to the lemon rind, petrol and pretty yellow orchard fruit aromas. There is excellent volume to the delicious and palate coating flavors that possess a firm acid spine that shapes and balances the lingering finish. There is a trace of warmth and this isn’t especially elegant yet this is one of those wines that manage to overcome its minor faults. 2019+ Rating: 89-92 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2015)
Joseph Drouhin
Despite the size of their vineyard holding, not all Drouhin's wines come from their own domaine, but most of the other wines do come from long-term contracts, such as exists with the Marquis de Laguiche wines. In all but name these wines are 'Domaine' wines, and the vineyards are cared for and the wines vinified with exactly the same care.

A more composed and refined village wine, with less obvious fruit, nicely rich in the mid-palate, still with the vintage's citrussy notes in the background. Nicely done.
