Pierre Yves Colin Morey, Chassagne Montrachet Abbaye Morgeot other_regions_italyA pungent array of oak, resin and petrol aromas lead to unusually sleek middle weight flavors in the context of what is typical for Morgeot and this sense of refinement also characterizes the nicely detailed and lingering finale. This should drink well young but reward mid term cellaring as well. (90 92) 2022+

3% alcohol

punchy and mineral-based finish

citrus confit and subtle spice wisps

intense and mineral-driven broad- shouldered flavors manage to display both good richness and delineation on the more overtly austere

redcurrants and blackberry compote with touches of licorice

A real standout wine

There is just enough oak present to warrant mentioning framing the compositionally similar if slightly more elegant nose

though I wonder if it is starting to close down

Juicy and expansive in the mouth

The old vines are very much apparent as this velvety yet very serious effort displays excellent power and like many of these Gevrey grands crus

super-saline and racy finish
