Joseph Drouhin, Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot Laguiche

Joseph Drouhin, Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot Laguiche(from Le Grand Clos and Vignes Blanches). A deft application of wood frames the overtly floral suffused nose of petrol, white peach, lemon zest and subtle spice wisps. The medium bodied flavors are also rich to the point of opulence, yet the firm acid spine saves the balance on the saliva inducing, long and powerful finish. This fine effort is very Morgeot in character and worth a look.

will keep the wine in good shape for the long haul

This is a Bâtard of finesse and understated rather than overt muscle and imposing size and weight

minerality and power

There is good punch to the fleshy midpalate of the medium-bodied flavors that possess a slightly dusty and mildly edgy but not really austere finish that is notably shorter than it usually is

Rich and intense with some great spicy notes

A very good villages

This wine shows a harder

A true long distance runner that will require every bit of a decade to reveal its full potential and perhaps longer

The palate is smooth and rounded with good weight
