2020 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne Montrachet Premier Cru Morgeot

The Morgeot terroir owes its name to a hamlet which abuts Chassagne-Montrachet to the south. Half of the vines in "Les Fairendes" were planted in 1964 and the remainder in 1974. This parcel has deeper soil where rocks break the surface. Up-slope, the stony red soil is shallow but gets deeper lower down the slope where the soil is white, heavy, compacted and clayey.

2 parcels; Fairendes and Abbaye de Morgeot. The first wine for while that’s sufficiently open to show some extra floral complexity – nice. Mouth-filling but with freshness and pretty good definition too. Really an extra depth of flavour but I think a tiny reduction is adding to that. Impressive, fuller, complex wine. Very delicious too!
