Chassagne-Montrachet “Morgeot” benefits from clay and limestone-rich soils and a southeasterly exposure in the Côte de Beaune, resulting in a complex and full-bodied Pinot Noir with long aging potential. First planted in the 15th century, this Premier Cru - one of 55 in the appellation - shares its renowned terroir between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines.
