Joseph Drouhin Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche 2023

This is a wonderful occasion to savor a great, noble white wine. Drouhin's Chassagne Laguiche has an admirable light golden color. Intense and elegant aromas come to the forefront : hawthorn, apricot notes, evolving towards hints of blond tobacco. As the wine ages, there are nuances of dried fruit and rare spices. A silky texture and a subtle touch of tannin give a true personality to the wine. Remarkable aftertaste. A truly exceptional white Burgundy.  

• Site: south of the Côte de Beaune, not too far from the city of Beaune. It is one of the famous villages of the “Côte des Blancs” producing great white wines (the others are Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet).
• The vineyard (2.26 ha – 5.65 acres) is on a gradual slope.
• Some old buildings, partially ruined, are found at mid-slope – the Abbey of Morgeot.
• It had two owners: men of prayer and men of the sword: monks from the abbey and the Laguiche family.
• During the French Revolution, the abbey was ruined but the estate of the Laguiche family was spared and remains to this day.

Serve with haute cuisine such as shellfish cooked in a light wine sauce (court-bouillon) or any delicate fish (such as Dover sole) prepared grilled or poached.
