Louis Jadot Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle Duc de Magenta 1er Cru 2019
The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle (Duc de Magenta) stands as another triumph, weaving a tapestry of fragrant white flowers and luscious pear, gracefully intermingled with delicate hints of orange zest, buttered toast, and golden honey. This wine, medium to full-bodied, envelops the palate with its silken texture, unfurling layers of depth and complexity that leave an indelible mark. Its profound concentration harmonizes seamlessly with the vibrant, uplifting acidity, resulting in a wine that is both deep and profoundly complete, a testament to its impeccable craftsmanship and terroir.
A beautifully layered nose exhibits good floral and citrus rind nuances on the ripe poached pear, white peach, and apple scents. The medium-bodied flavours are not quite as dense, but they are a bit finer while offering good richness and verve on the lemony, youthfully austere, and lingering finish. While there is a touch of rusticity, it's less pronounced.
