The Morgeot vineyard is one of the finest Premier Crus in Chassagne-Montrachet, and the Marquis de Laguiche parcel — managed by Joseph Drouhin — is among its most prestigious sections. The Laguiche family has been associated with the greatest white Burgundies for generations, and this wine represents a unique collaboration between two of Burgundy's most distinguished names.
Deep golden colour. An opulent nose of ripe white peach, apricot, toasted hazelnuts, and white flowers with a subtle mineral undertone. On the palate, the wine is rich, full-bodied, and creamy, with excellent concentration and a long, complex finish with notes of almond and spice. A wine of great distinction and ageing potential.
