TASTING NOTES
Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Vieilles Vignes 2024 from Domaine Bachey-Legros is a structured and deep white wine from Côte de Beaune in Burgundy, born from centenarian vines in the prestigious Morgeot Les Petits Clos cru. This vintage captures the powerful and mineral essence of Chassagne-Montrachet 2024, with rich, balanced, and age-worthy Chardonnay, perfect for those seeking Burgundian elegance. The 2024 vintage in Côte de Beaune saw a mild winter followed by a rainy spring and a warm summer with cool nights, favoring gradual grape ripening. The wines gain fruity concentration, full structure, and vibrant acidity, with intense aromas and great aging potential. The Chassagne-Montrachet area shines with poor, rocky clay-limestone soils, at altitudes around 250-300 meters, with south-facing exposures that capture light and constant breezes from the hills. This viticulture on steep slopes gives Chassagne-Montrachet wine a unique savoriness, voluminous body, and smoky mineral notes typical of the zone. Morgeot Vieilles Vignes Chardonnay expresses aromatic power with ripe fruit, fine spices, and a structure almost like a red wine, aging magnificently for 10 years or more. In this 2024, it appears more opulent and enveloping, thanks to the low yields of the old vines. To the eye, it displays an intense golden yellow with vivid highlights. On the nose, notes of ripe peach, apricot, linden flowers, hints of butter and toasted hazelnuts open up, with a flinty mineral backdrop. On the palate, it is full-bodied and taut, with fresh acidity balancing the creamy structure, silky tannins, persistent savoriness, and an extremely long finish where the fruit noted on the nose evolves into noble spices. Domaine Bachey-Legros, family-owned since the 19th century and today led by Lénaïc and Samuel Legros, carefully tends historic vineyards from 1935 in the top crus of Puligny and Chassagne, focusing on limited yields and authentic, terroir-driven wines. A collectible Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru for its depth and finesse. Pair it with noble poultry roasts or baked fish; explore Chardonnay Chassagne-Montrachet pairings for rich and flavorful dishes.
