A sleek white, with lime blossom, lemon cake and peach aromas and flavors framed by baking spices. Racy, gaining even greater precision as this winds down on the persistent finish.

A super-elegant Chassagne-Montrachet that offers all you want from this appellation, the balance of ripe-lemon character and flinty minerality spot-on. Super-silky and very graceful on the medium-to full-bodied palate. Then the finish doesn't want to stop. Drink or hold. Rating: 96 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Jul 2022)
(from Le Grand Clos and Vignes Blanches). A deft application of wood frames the overtly floral-suffused nose of petrol, white peach, lemon zest and subtle spice wisps. The medium-bodied flavors are also rich to the point of opulence, yet the firm acid spine saves the balance on the saliva-inducing, long and powerful finish. This fine effort is very Morgeot in character and worth a look. Drinking range: 2028 - Rating: 91-93 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2022)
The 2020 Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot, 1er Cru (Marquis de Laguiche) has a slightly more tropical influenced bouquet compared to the Clos des Mouches Blanc, with passion fruit, nectarine and peach skin aromas. The palate is well balanced with hints of apricot and orange rind on the entry, a fine bead of acidity with ample depth and vigour on the finish. Superb. Drinking range: 2023 - 2038 Rating: 92-94 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Dec 2021)
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.
