The 2023 Domaine Lamy-Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Blanc is a distinguished white Burgundy from one of Chassagne-Montrachet’s most renowned Premier Cru vineyards. Produced by the respected Lamy-Pillot family, this Chardonnay reflects the richness and depth for which Morgeot is known, while maintaining the freshness and mineral precision that define great Côte de Beaune whites.
The nose is layered and expressive, revealing aromas of ripe pear, white peach and lemon curd alongside notes of acacia blossom, toasted hazelnut and subtle oak spice. On the palate, it is concentrated yet beautifully balanced, with a creamy texture, vibrant acidity and flavours of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate brioche. A fine mineral backbone provides structure and length, leading to a long, refined finish.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding white Burgundy for Chardonnay lovers seeking both power and elegance. Its depth and complexity make it a superb match for lobster, scallops, roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes or mushroom risotto. Enjoy now with some time in the glass, or cellar over the next 10–15 years as greater complexity and nuance emerge.
