Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot hails from a parcel planted at the beginning of the last decade at a density of 20,000 vines per hectare. Revealing aromas of yellow orchard fruit, peach, beeswax and dried white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with fine concentration and length. Right now, it isn't quite as integrated as the Grands Charrons, but it will be interesting to revisit from bottle.

Vincent Dancer has shown himself to be talented and creative in his work, particularly succeeding in the maturation of his cuvées.
