“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 full-bodied Chardonnay with long aging potential. First planted in the 15th century, "Morgeot" shares its renowned terroir between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines.
