Vincent Girardin - Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot blanc 2023

Keywords : Deep / Intense / Persistent

The wine : The Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Morgeot blanc from Maison Vincent Girardin delivers a deep and intense expression of Chardonnay. The vines, on average 40 years old, are rooted in limestone soils in the upper part of the terroir and more clayey soils below. This diversity contributes to the balance between density, freshness, and length that characterizes this cuvée. The nose combines ripe citrus fruits with slightly toasted and spicy notes. On the palate, the texture is ample and concentrated, yet retains a precise structure that avoids any heaviness. A long finish extends nuances of citrus and a mineral sensation. A great Burgundy wine that will perfectly accompany sole with cream, pike quenelles, roasted lobster, or poultry with morel mushrooms.

The estate : Located in Meursault, Maison Vincent Girardin is both a wine estate and a négociant-éleveur house. Founded in 1980 in Santenay by Vincent Girardin, it is now technically managed by Éric Germain, who ensures the preservation of the identity of the great Burgundy terroirs. The house cultivates its own plots and also works with partner winegrowers who share the same high standards. Manual harvesting, fermentations with indigenous yeasts, and carefully measured aging allow for the production of precise and balanced Chardonnays, as well as elegant Pinot Noirs with fine tannins. From regional appellations to Grands Crus, each cuvée seeks a balance between depth, freshness, and fidelity to its origin.
