Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Blanc "Morgeot" 2022 | Wine from Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard
The Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard, based in Chassagne-Montrachet, is a renowned family estate. Respectful of traditions, the estate stands out for its classic winemaking, where each wine is crafted with indigenous yeasts. Aging is done in oak barrels, with particular attention to the proportion of new barrels, reaching 30-40% for Premier Crus and Grand Crus.
The Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 1er Cru-Morgeot 2022 is made from the Chardonnay grape, coming from the historic plot of La Grande Borne, a place laden with history. The name Morgeot derives from the Gaulish "Morga", which means border, marking the ancient boundary between the Beaunois and the Chalonnais. The soil of this plot is well-drained, shallow, scattered with small stones, and exposed to the southeast. With an area of 44 to 70 hectares planted in 1956, this terroir gives the wine a unique complexity. When young, it reveals a discreet minerality, but after a few years, it unveils all its power and aromatic richness.
The Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 1er Cru-Morgeot stands out for its minerality and its full-bodied palate. Both powerful and balanced, it develops subtle aromas of citrus, white flowers, with elegant woody notes due to oak barrel aging. On the palate, the wine is rich and full, with a beautiful length.
