Aromas of orange peel, almond flower and wild herbs; showing more spicy oak influence than the Embrazées. An elegant, fine-grained style, with lime and soft citrus flavors firmed and lifted by spices on the dry finish. This vibrant, rather palate-staining wine needs time to absorb its oak element.
Rating: 91 –93
(from clay and iron soil in real Morgeot, says Philippe Drouhin): Musky aromas and flavors of lime zest, anise and exotic melon. Suave and silky in the mouth, with attractive sweetness nicely balanced by ripe acidity. Finishes tactile and long, with lovely salinity and lift.
Rating: 92 –92
The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Morgeots 1er Cru initially feels smudged and overdone on the nose, but wow, it ameliorates with aeration in the glass and develops far better delineation than I expected. The taut, linear palate, featuring touches of lime and sour lemon, is tightly coiled but reluctantly reveals real substance and complexity toward the brisk finish. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
Rating: 91 –91
Pale, bright yellow. Classic scents of pear, menthol, mint and dusty stone. Juicy, intense, very youthful wine with dusty, savory minerality currently dominating its soft citrus and white peach flavors. Still a bit tart and disjointed on the back end, and quite closed in the context of this collection. This wine was racked last December and bottled in late February, like Drouhin's Clos des Mouches and Montrachet.
Rating: 90 –93
Bright pale yellow with a green tinge. Very ripe aromas of peach, vanilla and nuts lifted by a note of orange peel. Fat and sweet but with firm acidity that will need more élevage as well as some barrel age to harmonize with the wine's stone fruit and spice flavors. The wine's orange peel element is accompanied by a salty quality on the long, almost Chablis-like finish. A distinct step up in flavor intensity and salinity from the Folatières. This is aging in about one-third new oak.
Rating: 92 –94
The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 1er Cru (Marquis de Laguiche), which went through complete malo, has an almost feisty bouquet of lemongrass-tinged tropical fruit that sports just a tiny reduction. The palate is very well balanced, and a striking line of acidity imparts great tension. Quite complex on the finish, this offers appealing ginger and apricot notes on the aftertaste, plus the sapidity to encourage you back for another sip. Excellent.
Rating: 90 –90
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 1er Cru offers orange cordial and lychee scents on the nose - a bit flat compared to its peers. The palate is well balanced with a touch of bitter lemon on the entry, orange rind mixed with mango, a bit of chewiness on the finish some waxiness on the aftertaste. A touch disjointed at the moment with a slightly honeyed finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.
Rating: 91 –93
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 1er Cru (Marquis de Laguiche) comes from a vineyard that tends to produce <em>millerandé</em> berries. This has an intense, powerful bouquet with hints of menthol permeating the citrus fruit, developing a more fumé style with time in the glass. The palate is well balanced with hints of passion fruit and peach on the entry, becoming spicier and subtly Muscat-like toward the very satisfying, persistent finish. Excellent.
Rating: 94 –94
Always a highlight in the Drouhin portfolio, the 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche is showing brilliantly in bottle. Unwinding in the glass with notes of crisp Anjou pear, citrus zest, blanched almonds, pastry cream and freshly baked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with racy acids and a long, chalky finish. This is one of the most intense, tightly wound renditions of this cuvée in recent years.
Rating: 92 –94
The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche is also very promising, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, mandarin orange, white flowers, warm bread and baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with a deep and layered core, lively acids and a seamless, harmonious profile, it's one of the highlights of the range.
Rating: 93 –93
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of golden orchard fruit, peach, confit citrus, honeycomb and toast. Medium to full-bodied, sumptuous and textural, it's satiny and enveloping, with a fleshy core underpinned by succulent acids, concluding with a nicely defined finish despite its gourmand, elegantly sun-kissed profile.
Rating: 92 –94
The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche wafts from the glass with a lovely bouquet of pretty orchard fruit, pastry cream, dried white flowers, honeycomb and a nutty framing of new wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, pure and satiny, with good depth and concentration at the core, tangy balancing acids and a beautifully defined finish. This is dependably among the finest whites in the Drouhin cellar, and this year's rendition is no exception.
Rating: 94 –94
The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche is showing brilliantly from bottle, wafting from the glass with a lovely bouquet of orange oil, nutmeg, Anjou pear, white peach, honeycomb and wheat toast. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and succulent, with an elegantly textural attack, fine concentration at the core and racy underpinning acids. Harmonious and complete, this is routinely one of Drouhin's finest white wines, and that is true in 2017 also.
Rating: 90 –92
The 2015 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche has a tightly-wound, oyster-shell tinged bouquet that seemed a little timid following the 2015 Beaune Clos des Mouches Blanc. The palate is very well balanced with a touch of praline on the entry, quite tensile with an edgy, fresh lime and sliced pear note on the finish. This is showing good potential and the aromatics will have awoken by the time it is bottle.
Rating: 94 –94
Tasted blind, the 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche performed brilliantly, revealing a lovely bouquet of white flowers, ripe pear and hazelnut cream. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, glossy and textural, with considerable concentration and chewy extract underpinned by bright, tangy acids that lend excellent delineation to the long, pure finish. It's a terrific Morgeot that would embarrass many grands crus in this vintage.
Rating: 93 –93
Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Drouhin's 2014 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche has a crisp, vivacious bouquet with scents of Golden Delicious, white peach and subtle mineral scents. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry, quite compact at this youthful stage with a waxy-textured, quite pithy finish that at least retains commendable definition. Very fine and it improved with aeration, therefore I would allow this another couple of years to develop.
Rating: 93 –95
The 2014 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche was picked between September 16 and 19, and is whole cluster fruit, spending 14 months in oak barrels. It has a very seductive bouquet with a hint of licorice in the background, detailed and gaining intensity in the glass. The palate is very well defined, harmonious on the entry with bitter lemon and orange zest. There is compelling energy here -- this Chassagne just flows across the mouth and the finish is so vivid. By far and away, this is the best Chassagne-Morgeot that I have tasted from Marquis de Laguiche/Drouhin.
Rating: 91 –93
Due to be bottled in spring 2015, the 2013 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot (under the Marquis de Laguiche banner) was cropped between September 30 - and October 8 and Véronique mentioned that the two parcels suffered a little millerandage in this year. The nose is quite forward and generous with fennel and white pepper infusing the citrus-fresh fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a pretty, lightly spiced entry with touches of yellow plum and even a hint of fish oil. There is fine weight in the mouth with a sensual finish that lingers nicely in the mouth. Excellent.
Rating: 93 –93
Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot has a very composed bouquet with citrus fruit, a hint of licorice, rosemary and mineral -- an absolutely gorgeous bouquet. The palate is very well balanced with impressive fruit concentration. There is just a touch of viscosity and it feels harmonious in the mouth with a powerful, lightly honeyed finish that seems to caress. Bon vin! Tasted May 2016.
Rating: 91 –91
The 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot (Marquis de Laguiche) was affected by the frost, and hence 50% of the fruit was lost. The nose is pleasant with scents of white peach and citrus lemon, although it does not quite have the vigor of the Embasees. The palate is well balanced with a ripe, sorbet-fresh entry of orange and pear, quite energetic toward the finish that fans out in confident fashion. This gets better with acquaintance and deserves a couple of years once in bottle.
Rating: 91 –91
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot has an attractive bouquet with hints of almond and freshly baked popcorn lending the nose a mote of exoticism without detracting from terroir expression. The palate is well balanced with pineapple and citrus peel on the entry. This demonstrates admirable fruit concentration and it gains weight towards the slightly waxy textured finish. This is a well-crafted Chassagne that should delight over the next 6-8 years.
Rating: 90 –92
The 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Mourgeot Blanc suffered more millerandage that other vineyards. It was sampled before racking. Picked between September 22 and 25, it has a slightly deeper hue compared to the Perrieres. It has a generous bouquet with hints of white chocolate infusing the lifted citrus fruit. The 25% new oak is nicely integrated. The palate is well-balanced with a zesty, mineral opening although it does not have the sophistication of the Perrieres. Nevertheless, this Chassagne is very harmonious with hints of white peach and tangerine enlivening the finish. Delicious! The matriarch of Maison Joseph Drouhin, Veronique Drouhin, escorted a group of writers and scribes through her 2012s in London, except for the Grands Echezeaux that happened to not be showing well. Hers were the only 2012s tasted outside Burgundy for this report, in respect of the miniscule quantities. Less for us critics: more for punters, even if it is a drop. The omnipresent story of depleted crops was the same here. In fact, 2012 is their smallest vintage for 50 years. “Everything that you think could happen, did happen,” rued Veronique in her fluent English. “We had frost, hail, storms and even sunburn.” There was some redemption though, a vital one too. “The only thing we did not get was botrytis and so the fruit was healthy. There had been a poor fruit set and a lot of coulure and millerandage. This meant the berries were small and not clustered close together, allowing good air flow between the berries and therefore inhibiting grey rot.” However, the unpredictable growing season proved challenging in the vineyard. “We are 100% organic, so we had to go over and over in the vines. We had to use natural responses to natural problems.” The 2012 vintage also demanded prudent approaches in the winery that could enhance the wines. “One of the most surprising things we found was that it took five to seven days for the fermentation to start. During this period you could extract some interesting things (color, polyphenols etc). Also, we found that the fruit had a long post-fermentation period of up to two weeks, which also benefited the complexity of the fruit. We also had a different approach to the vin de press. When we pressed the white grapes, we separated the end pressings. Using whole clusters means that the stems tend to increase the pH and the acidity goes much lower, which can dilute the cuvee. We had to separate the vin de presse and work each one differently. But in 2012 we did not include much of the vin de presse.” The vinification of such a small quantities springs its own set of problems; after all, you cannot fill all your barrels with marbles to keep them topped up. Fortunately, there was plenty of time to prepare because the February frost had burnt the buds. Poor flowering and fruit set early in the growing season meant that there was plenty of time to place orders for appropriately-sized barrels. “We used 500-liter barrels, which were very useful and similarly sized stainless tell vessels for the wines,” Veronique explained. “We hired a person who specializes in bottling small quantities. Jerome likes them (500-liter barrels) very much. They do not extract much, but they can make very elegant wines.” Perhaps one silver lining is that it has given producers such as Drouhin experience of using alternatively sized vessels that may be used in the future when vintages are more bountiful. At the end of the day, Drouhin have overseen another impressive set of Burgundy wines. While they do not possess the structure of the 2010s, the acidity levels are not dissimilar, although they seem to have more sweetness on the finishes. I concur with Veronique that two appellations that prospered in this vintage are Chassagne in the Cotes de Beaune and Chambolle in the Cotes de Nuits. In particular, the latter is very strong chez Drouhin in 2012, right down to the village cru. She also opined that Rully exceeded expectations, perhaps because the vines were so affected by hail in 2011 and strove to compensate in the following year. Here both the white and red come highly recommended and will probably represent good value. Prices are expected to rise, possibly 10-15% for the village and premier crus, 20% for the grand crus, although nothing had been set at time of writing.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot 2011 has an outgoing and expressive bouquet with touches of tropical fruit infusing the citrus lemon and lime flower aromas. With further aeration there are hints of white peach and pink grapefruit emerging. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with a slightly waxy texture, but the finish comes across as smudged and missing the tension that the aromatics deserve.

The 2011 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot (Marquis de Laguiche) has a fragrant bouquet with scents of wild heather, honeysuckle and dried pineapple. The palate is well-balanced and demonstrates good weight in the mouth with a pleasant, waxy finish. Fine, but I would prefer to cellar it for several years. Drink 2016-2025. It is always a pleasure to meet Veronique Drouhin, although this was actually the first time that I had visited their winery on the southern fringe of Beaune. “All the estate has been under biodynamic practices since the mid-1990s (including Chablis) and organic since 1988,” she said to me as we commenced the tasting. “We have been ECOCERT certified since 2009.” I asked her what tangible difference biodynamics have made. “The estate wines have a lot of depth and energy but what is really better is the pH,” she said. She also cited the arrival of head winemaker Jerome Faure-Brac in 2005 as another reason for the improvement in quality. Now their approach is for no compromise on the fruit and to exact precise viticulture for each vineyard. Veronique told me that their entry level Laforet aims to encapsulate the whole picture of Bourgogne. “We know the wine is consumed young so it is not heavily extracted,” she told me. “We look for a lovely fruity, round, elegant Bourgogne. You know, it is easier to make an Amoureuses than a Burgundy Rouge because of the quantity. It is aged in older barrels and it is bottled sooner than in the past.” Importer: Dreyfus Ashby & Co., New York, NY; tel. (212) 818-0770

Tasted blind at Farr Vintners Kumeu/White Burgundy tasting. The nose on the 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot from Marquis de Laguiche does not possess the complexity of the other whites in this blind flight. It is nicely delineated with terse granitic and lemon peel scents, though it does not have the nuance. The palate is balanced with smoke walnut and spice on the entry, but it is dogged by a flatness that it cannot shake off right to the finish. Perhaps this is going through a dumbed-down phase?
Rating: 92 –94
The 2020 Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot, 1er Cru (Marquis de Laguiche) has a slightly more tropical influenced bouquet compared to the Clos des Mouches Blanc, with passion fruit, nectarine and peach skin aromas. The palate is well balanced with hints of apricot and orange rind on the entry, a fine bead of acidity with ample depth and vigour on the finish. Superb.
Rating: 93 –94
The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche is excellent, offering up aromas of pear, orange oil, buttered toasted, fresh mint and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's fresh and racy, with good energy for a cuvée that can sometimes be very rich, concluding with a saline finish.
Rating: 92 –94
Aromas of honeyed orchard fruits, buttery pastry, peaches, toasted nuts and spices introduce the 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche, a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny wine that's rich, glossy and unctuous, with all the fat and texture typical of this bottling.

Some very attractive clarity of fruit on the nose with an array of peaches, white nectarines, melons and honeysuckles. The concentration is staggering. Very, very deep and dense with great acid drive underlying the fleshy ripe fruits. A citrus, stony finish with honeysuckles, spice meat and stone fruits. Superb. Drink or hold.

Honey blossom, citrus and cooked pears, but ever so subtle on the nose. Full-bodied and layered with lovely fruit, light yogurt and pie crust at the end. Really appreciate the flavor and complexity at the end here. Drink or hold.

A rich and powerful Chassagne-Montrachet with serious concentration and creaminess, but thanks to the acidity and the fine tannins this remains poised through the long and very sensual finish. Drink or hold.
Rating: 96 –96
A super-elegant Chassagne-Montrachet that offers all you want from this appellation, the balance of ripe-lemon character and flinty minerality spot-on. Super-silky and very graceful on the medium-to full-bodied palate. Then the finish doesn't want to stop. Drink or hold.

Beautifully intense nose of lemon verbena, star fruit, spiced pears, cloves and a touch of cedar. Full-bodied and precise, with fantastic freshness, developing breadth and depth. Phenolic tension at the end. Very long. Try from 2024.
