Justin Girardin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Blanc 2022 [JM 91-93]

Jasper Morris MW 91-93.

"4 barrels from their own vines in Clos Charreau, plus one more barrel purchased. An
attractive pale lemon and lime. A fine generosity of fruit with a refreshing backbone,
slightly lime infused. Overall, this treads with light feet while still representing the
long-term potential of Morgeot. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted: October 2023."

Grape variety Chardonnay Average age of the vines 30 years Maturation 12 months in oak barrels (1/4 new barrels) Tasting notes A rich and powerful wine which needs 2-3 years to really develop. TASTING NOTES Shining lemon yellow colour, this is a very radiant wine. With characters of clotted cream and pecans, it balances a natural fullness and richness with a lovely bite of orange zest. Extremely enticing and, true to Justin’s nature, very relaxed and full of charm. Justin's notes: "Seductive, with a bouquet of roses and lychee and a distinct spice aroma on the finish. Golden yellow in colour, spicy in aroma and flavour, reminiscent of yellow roses, cloves, lychees and nutmeg. Luscious and powerful on the palate with an elegant, dry and aromatic finish."
