Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot Fleurot Larose 2008

The wine

This winemaking estate, founded towards the end of the 19th century, crafts a red Chassagne-Montrachet from the Abbaye de Morgeot Premier Cru. Benefiting from an oceanic climate with a semi-continental influence, the Pinot Noir vines which make up this vineyard soak up the necessary nutrients from soils rich in marl and marly limestone. Cultivation methods respect the environment, the soil and biodiversity. For this reason, each parcel is treated with the utmost care to highlight their quintessential character in every glass. In order to achieve this vinifications use minimal intervention and sulphur is only added homeopathically. Tasting reveals an intense ruby-red wine with violent glints. Lively notes of red and black berries and violets are enriched by musky and spicy touches.
