“Morgeot” is the largest Premier Cru of Chassagne-Montrachet. It benefits from clay and limestone-rich soils and a southeasterly exposure in the Côte de Beaune, resulting in an intense and fullbodied Chardonnay with long aging potential. First planted in the 15th century, "Morgeot" shares its renowned terroir between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines.
