Joseph Drouhin, Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot Marquis De Laguiche Blanc 1er Cru, 2019
The 2019 Joseph Drouhin Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche Blanc 1er Cru is a distinguished white Burgundy from the esteemed Morgeot vineyard, exclusively managed by Maison Joseph Drouhin. This Premier Cru Chardonnay, sourced from clay and limestone soils, exhibits an admirable light golden color. The nose is intense and elegant, with aromas of white flowers, citrus, hawthorn, and apricot notes, evolving towards hints of blond tobacco. As the wine ages, nuances of dried fruit and rare spices emerge. The palate balances elegance with vibrant acidity, offering a silky texture and a subtle touch of tannin, leading to a long, harmonious, and remarkable finish. Critics have praised this vintage for its serious concentration and creaminess, yet it remains poised with racy acids and a long, chalky finish, making it one of the most intense and tightly wound renditions in recent years. It has received high scores, including 95 points from James Suckling and 94 from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
This wine pairs excellently with seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses. Other suggestions include chicken and turkey.
This Chassagne-Montrachet is renowned for its aging potential, developing greater complexity over time, making it a wonderful occasion to savor a great wine. It's perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a special anniversary, or as a gift for a discerning wine collector. 【Renowned for its aging potential, developing greater complexity over time.】
BACKGROUND

Founded in Beaune in 1880, the domaine has expanded throughout the 20th Century to include vineyards in Chablis, the Côte de Nuits, the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise, making everything from simple, village-level cuvées to highly priced grand cru and premier cru wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and drinking window for this wine?
Serve chilled at 10-12°C. This 2019 Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru is drinking beautifully now but can also be cellared for another 5-8 years to develop more complexity.
asian food pairing / wine style
What is the style of this wine and what Asian dishes would it pair well with?
This Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru is a classic full-bodied white Burgundy, offering rich notes of ripe orchard fruit, toasted nuts, and a distinctive minerality. It pairs wonderfully with pan-seared scallops, roasted chicken with herbs, or even delicate dim sum.
how to store at home
Can you provide details on the bottle's condition (label, level, capsule) and suggest home storage precautions?
This bottle has a very damaged label and a mid-shoulder fill level, which is below ideal. The capsule is intact. While the external condition is poor, the wine's quality can still be excellent if stored properly. We recommend storing it horizontally in a cool, dark place with consistent humidity.
investment value / scores
What are the typical scores or investment value for this wine?
While Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru wines generally hold good investment potential and often receive high scores, the very damaged label and mid-shoulder fill level of this particular bottle will significantly reduce its market value for collectors. It's more suitable for immediate enjoyment.
