Chantereves Morgeot, Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, France 2023
Chantereves is a small, boutique Burgundy winery founded by Guillaume Bott and Tomoko Kuriyama, focused on producing terroir-driven wines with minimal intervention. The estate sources grapes from select vineyards in the Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune, emphasizing old vines, whole-cluster fermentation, ambient yeasts, and gentle aging in used barrels. Their wines are known for clarity, elegance, and purity, expressing the unique character of each site rather than oak or manipulation, and they consistently showcase a fresh, precise, and mineral-driven style that reflects the essence of Burgundy.
Morgeot, Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru 2023 is an elegant white Burgundy that highlights the minerality and precision of the Morgeot climat. Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white flowers, and subtle toasted almond lead into a layered, vibrant palate with bright acidity and a long, stony finish. Focused and refined, it reflects Chantereves’ signature balance of purity and tension, offering both immediate appeal and excellent potential for aging.
