Vinous Neal Martin - 09 Jul 24
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Tête du Clos 1er Cru has a slightly more malic bouquet, well-defined and mineral-driven. This unveils greater marine influence with time in the glass. The palate has fine concentration and balance, very detailed with crisp mineralité and tension. A saline presence gets the saliva flowing. Quite linear towards the finish, this is a very classy Chassagne, even if it doesn't fully match the top wines in this flight. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
