Domaine Bachey Legros, Chassagne Montrachet Blanc 1er Cru, Morgeot Le Petit Clos, Burgundy, France, 2023

Producer Profile

The success of this domaine stems from its incredible stock of old vines, producing small yields that offer perfect grape ripeness and concentration while being deeply anchored in their rootstocks.

The resulting wines offer power and elegance in equal measure and come from a legacy of generational winemaking that dates from the 19th century.

Viticulture

The Premier Cru Morgeot is the most prestigious vineyard owned by the Domaine. Sited on red clay-limestone soil from vines planted in 1950.

Tasting Note

A symphony of aromas and flavours that are the epitome of a fine Burgundy Chardonnay. The wine opens with a bouquet of white flowers, citrus fruits, and a hint of buttery oak. On the palate, it is rich and concentrated, with notes of ripe stone fruits, honeyed citrus, and a touch of hazelnut. Beautifully balanced with a lively acidity that cuts through the richness, leaving a long and lingering finish.

Food Matching

Excellent with fish or chicken in a cream sauce, washed rind or Roquefort cheeses.
