Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot Fleurot Larose 1991
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.
Dating back to 1872, Domaine Fleurot Larose lies at the heart of Burgundy’s wine-growing landscape and has seen generations of winegrowers come and go. Nestling in the charming commune of Sautenay, this vineyard has been home to generations of winemakers. Typical regional grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Aligoté are passionately cultivated with the utmost respect for the land and biodiversity, in order to preserve the essential balance between man and nature. Each parcel receives specific care depending on its needs, to allow the personality of each one to shine through. In the winery, vinification involves minimal intervention and sulphur is added in minute quantities. This allows the terroir and grape varieties to naturally develop all their aromas and specificities in each vintage. The estate strives to produce authentic, tasty wines that reflect the traditional expertise of a family of passionate winemakers.
