Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot Clos Pitois 1er Cru Blanc 2023

Tasting Note

Brilliant pale gold with green reflections. The nose is complex, balancing blossom and citrus with touches of toasted bread and hazelnut. The palate evokes a basket of fruit dominated by citrus, lightly framed by vanilla. Well-balanced, it carries the characteristic richness of Morgeot wines, lifted by a refreshing acidity.

The Clos Pitois, Monopole of our Domain, is very famous since it has been created by the Monks in 1421. Its wine is served in the most prestigious gastronomic meals such as Embassy meals. The global area of the Clos Pitois is about 3 hectares, half planted in Pinot Noir grapes and half in Chardonnay grapes. The Clos Pitois’ harvest is entirely done by hand, like the picking and the sorting of the grapes, which is performed in the vineyard on a sorting table in a very rigorous way.

Food Pairing

To be served with grilled sea fish, scallops or even poultry.
