From the first sniff, Joseph Drouhin’s Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche 2023 shows both precision and depth: bright citrus and pear run through the core, with hints of orange zest, gentle toast and cool white flowers adding complexity. The palate is concentrated yet taut, driven by lively acidity and a subtle, mouthwatering mineral edge that lengthens the finish. This vintage feels especially poised and energetic for Morgeot, with richness kept firmly in check by its structure and lift.

Joseph Drouhin’s Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Morgeot “Marquis de Laguiche” is a Chardonnay drawn from the marl-and-limestone slopes of the Morgeot lieu-dit, blending the village’s saline minerality with generous white-fruit and floral aromas; Drouhin’s élevage (partial new oak and 16–18 months barrel ageing) yields a silky, layered wine showing hawthorn and apricot up front, hints of blond tobacco and spice with a subtle phenolic grip, and the structure to age gracefully for a decade or more.
