Description
The wines of Chassagne-Montrachet are of excellent value and their image is timeless. When compared to their direct neighbors of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, these wines are full-bodied, with a very exotic 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 in fact lies exactly on the departmental border between the Cote d'Or and the Saone-et-Loire, which corresponds to an ancient Gallo-Roman limit.
