Tasted at The Portland restaurant in London, the Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot 1987 is one of those wines that reminds you how great mature white Burgundy can be, when it's not premoxed! The key to this wine is aeration. First pour and the chips are down: a little musty, that ominous fug of dried honey hinting at the dreaded premox. But wait. Allowing it 20 minutes to open the aromatics are like a sky clearing of cloud and the sunshine of mineralité floods in. The palate suitably shapes up, revealing a keen line of acidity, lovely grilled walnut and smoky notes with fine precision on the finish. The 1987 vintage was purportedly a great wine for Ramonet. This wine attests to that, though I personally would pop any corks over the next four or five years.
