Description
The wines of Chassagne-Montrachet are of excellent value and their image is timeless. When compared to their direct neighbours of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, these wines are full and very exotic in their fruitiness. Exposed to the southeast on a mid-slope, "Morgeot" is an excellent example of these wines, warm with a tropical fruitiness that is hard to match. This parcel, called "Morga" in 864, comes from the Latin "Margo" which means "edge, border". Morgeot is in fact, exactly on the departmental border between the Côte d'Or and the Saône-et-Loire, which corresponds to an ancient Gallo-Roman limit.
