Joseph Drouhin Marquis de Laguiche Morgeot, Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, France 2022

Tasting by Véronique Boss-Drouhin

This is a wonderful occasion to savour a great wine. Admirable light golden colour. Intense and elegant aromas come to the fore : hawthorn, apricot notes, evolving towards hints of blond tobacco. As the wine ages, there are nuances of dried fruit and rare spices. A silky texture and a subtle touch of tannin give a true personality to the wine. Remarkable aftertaste. A great white Burgundy.

Site: south of the Côte de Beaune, not too far from the city of Beaune. It is one of the famous villages of the « Côte des Blancs » producing great white wines (the others are Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet).
