A quite complete nose, and on the palate it is ample and fat, yet with a sleek minerality and purity. A very supple feel; classic Morgeot really, good gourmand richness and flavour depth - salivating. The Drouhins have run this as if part of their own domaine since 1947. Drinking range: 2022 - L&S (Nov 2019)

The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 1er Cru offers orange cordial and lychee scents on the nose - a bit flat compared to its peers. The palate is well balanced with a touch of bitter lemon on the entry, orange rind mixed with mango, a bit of chewiness on the finish some waxiness on the aftertaste. A touch disjointed at the moment with a slightly honeyed finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting. Drinking range: 2024 - 2032 Rating: 90 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Nov 2022)
The vibrant character shines through, along with flavors of butterscotch, peach, vanilla and almond croissant. Lean and focused, with toasty oak and a tactile finish that picks up a mineral element. Drink now through 2025. Drinking range: 2021 - 2025 Rating: 93 Bruce Sanderson, The Wine Spectator (May 2021)
Honey blossom, citrus and cooked pears, but ever so subtle on the nose. Full-bodied and layered with lovely fruit, light yogurt and pie crust at the end. Really appreciate the flavor and complexity at the end here. Drink or hold. Rating: 94 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Aug 2020)
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.
