The Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot exhibits fresh, floral and minerally aromas accompanied by super-ripe, slightly stony flavors. Medium-to-full-bodied, it should be enjoyed over the next 6 years. It lacks the length and complexity to be an outstanding wine. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29.
While many producers mentioned millerandage (stunted growth of the fruit embryos) as the cause for their small yields in 1995, for Bernard Morey it was due to coulure (the dropping of flowers because of bad weather conditions). Whatever the reason for their occurrence, low yields can benefit consumers because the result is greater concentration of fruit. Morey and his two sons had bottled the whites during the end of August and the beginning of September, and were bottling the reds when I visited in January. Wines from this estate are generally full-bodied and thick, with excellent ripeness.
