Louis Jadot Description
Chassagne-Montrachet is one of the five villages of the Côte de Blancs. Premier Cru vineyards face east and southeast, and the soils are brown clay and limestone. Morgeot is among the top handful of Premier Cru vineyards in the commune; Clos de la Chapelle is an enclosed monopole on the site of an old chapel. The Pinot Noir grapes are fermented in tanks for up to one month, and then the wine is matured in oak barrels for 15 to 18 months.
Burghound: 91 Points
Outstanding
A notably restrained nose is quite floral-inflected with a touch of phenolic character (think olive and nut oil) to the ripe white orchard fruit and tangerine zest-infused aromas. There is good size, weight and muscle to the larger-scaled to the delicious medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the powerful finale. This sleek effort is more elegant than usual, and I particularly like the persistence though there is perceptible warmth that gradually emerges.
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle 1er Cru has an intense nose, perhaps not quite as delineated as its peers; just a slight reduction suggests this will require 4-5 years in bottle. Coming back after 10 minutes, there are more tropical scents of pineapple and touches of passion fruit. The palate is well balanced with modest depth and fine acidity but does not quite have the charm or complexity of its peers. Spicy on the finish.
