Chassagne Montrachet Morgeots, Clos de la Chapelle, Duc de Magenta, Louis Jadot 2020

Tasting Notes

The swan song for this cuvée is the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle (Duc de Magenta), a muscular, concentrated wine that exhibits aromas of orange oil, peach, buttery pastry and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural, with a fleshy core of ripe fruit and bright balancing acids, it offers a classic expression of Morgeot in all its exuberance.

William Kelley, Wine Advocate, January 2022

The last vintage of this wine chez Jadot as the vineyard has been sold. Medium yellow in colour. There is a little less overt power and perhaps a touch more terroir in this wine. Then the full weight kicks in, nicely married with its wood, and a sense of managed opulence behind infiltrated by good acidity. Tasted: November 2021

Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, November 2021

Pale lemon in colour. Nutty, smoky and peachy nose. The palate is soft, ripe with peach sweetness. This is supple, succulent and very approachable with buttery richness that builds through to the finish. This should be approachable from the outset.
