2001 Domaine Bernard Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Morgeot"

SKU #1352596 91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Sweet earthy mineral aromas are found in the nose of the 2001 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot. This effort displays lovely depth in its pear, grilled oak, and apple-flavored personality. Pure, fresh, and concentrated, it reveals liquid minerals in its extended finish. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. (PR) (4/2003)

88-91 points Vinous

Subtle aromas of smoke, honey, herbs and flowers. Dense, sweet and nicely concentrated, with harmonious acidity giving it very good balance. Slightly warm on the back but shows very good persistence. (ST) (9/2002)

90 points Wine Spectator

Showing sweet peach, with a hint of mineral and floral notes, this wine is immediately seductive. Creamy and dense, it seems to combine elements of both 2003 and 2002. Tails off a little on the finish. (BS) (8/2005)

Allen Meadows - Burghound

Classic Morgeot in style with its fat, forward, muscular, ever-so-slightly rustic flavor profile and generous personality. This particular example is very fresh, possesses good length and should benefit from 3 to 4 years of cellar time. (7/2003)

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Chardonnay

- It's hard to believe that up until about 30 years ago, this extremely popular varietal hid behind the veil of geographical names like Chablis and Puligny-Montrachet. Now grown all over the world and bottled by its varietal name, Chardonnay has achieved a level of branding unlike any other wine. Surprisingly, though, what you get when you buy Chardonnay can differ greatly from country to country and even within one country, depending on the climate where it's grown and how it is vinified and aged. From fresh, crisp and minerally with apple and lemon notes to rich and buttery with tropical fruit overtones, Chardonnay runs the gamut. In France's Burgundy, Chardonnay is the source of the prized wines of Chablis, Corton-Charlemagne, Mâcon, Meursault and Montrachet. It also the foundation of exceptional Champagne, where it is blended with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier or vinified on its own into Blanc de Blancs. It is also extremely popular in California, and is gaining popularity in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain and South Africa.
Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.
Sub-Region:

Burgundy

- The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Côte d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Côte de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Côte de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Côte d'Or. Also include by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.
Specific Appellation:

Chassagne Montrachet

- A long, wandering village in the Côte de Beaune. Fortunately, what the workaday village lacks in charm, the wines more than make up for. Most famous for its white wines, which are lovely and delicate, Chassagne-Montrachet actually produces more red than white wine. It is one of the few places in the Côte D'Or where both red and white wines are produced from Premier Cru vineyards. The Grands Crus are Montrachet, Bâtard Montrachet (both shared with the neighboring village of Puligny) and Criots Bâtard Montrachet.
