Louis Latour Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot 2021

The Chassgne-Montrachet  "Morgeot" parcel of vines lies mid-slope with a south-easterly exposure. "Morgeot" is in fact a hamlet of Chassagne-Montrachet. The vines have been in place since the Maizieres Abbey decided to clear the land and replant the Morgeot soils in the 15th Century. Only a quarter of the appellation's premier cru are planted with Pinot Noir. The red wines of Morgeot are balanced and sometimes a little bit firm when still young but to the savvy amateur with patience, they can offer generous aromas of small red fruits and fine tannins, together creating a beautiful harmony.
Tasting notes
This intense and deep rubis colour is typical of the Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru << Morgeot >> Rouge 2011. On the nose, aromas of blackcurrant marry perfectly with the finesse of the fresh fig flavors. The notes evolve into lovely aromas of liquorice. Powerful on the mouth, flavors of red fruit explode, followed by notes of sap. Tannins aromas still linger.
