Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche 2014 Drouhin, Joseph

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (93)

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Drouhin's 2014 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche has a crisp, vivacious bouquet with scents of Golden Delicious, white peach and subtle mineral scents. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry, quite compact at this youthful stage with a waxy-textured, quite pithy finish that at least retains commendable definition. Very fine and it improved with aeration, therefore I would allow this another couple of years to develop.

Winespectator (93)

A taut, smoky style, with citrus, butterscotch and mineral flavors etched onto the refined structure. Remains juicy and persistent, even as the fruit gives way to the oak before returning again on the long aftertaste. Intense.

Vinous (92)

(from clay and iron soil in "real" Morgeot, says Philippe Drouhin): Musky aromas and flavors of lime zest, anise and exotic melon. Suave and silky in the mouth, with attractive sweetness nicely balanced by ripe acidity. Finishes tactile and long, with lovely salinity and lift.
