Chassagne-Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche Joseph Drouhin 1990

The wine

Domaine Marquis de Laguiche has been operated by Joseph Drouhin since 1947, but its roots are much older: the two-hectare vineyard has been in the hands of the Laguiche family since 1363. Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Marquis de Laguiche undergoes 12 months of barrel élevage with 20% new wood. It is a beautiful, very harmonious cuvée. The nose evokes hawthorn, apricot, grapefruit, blond tobacco, and vanilla. On the palate, it displays richness, a silky body, very fruity flavours and exceptional length.
