2023 Chassange-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot, Olivier Leflaive

Morgeot is such a vast vineyard, it’s hard to define it with complete conviction. There is such an array of soil types and expositions, so much so that there are a plethora of well-established lieu dits within the Cru which are as well-known as Morgeot itself. This is one such lieu dit, which, as the name suggests, features the vines around the old abbey. The soil here has some stones, but a good proportion of clay, which gives a certain level of weight to the wine. However, Solene has picked nice and early and accentuated the vibrancy of the wine, with minimal new oak helping to keep the wine light on its feet. Drink from 2028
