Alex Moreau Morgeot, Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, France 2023
Chassagne‑Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot 2023 is a refined, terroir‑focused expression from one of Chassagne’s largest and most complex premier cru sites. The wine shows aromas of lemon zest, pear, white peach, and subtle white flowers, layered with crushed limestone, light smoke, and a gentle savory note typical of Morgeot. On the palate it’s precise and energetic, with bright acidity, restrained oak, and a saline, mineral‑driven finish. Compared to richer historic styles of Morgeot, Alex Moreau’s 2023 is notably elegant and transparent, offering both early charm and excellent aging potential.
"The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots ler Cru has a tempting bouquet with hints of almond and toffee apple infusing the vibrant citrus fruit-already very seductive and not dissimilar to the Maltroye. The palate is well balanced with a touch of wild peach on the entry. Clementine and even strawberry emerge toward the refined finish. Superb." Vinous 92-94
