Louis Latour Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Morgeot" 2017

Description
	
The wines of Chassagne-Montrachet offer great value and timeless image. These wines command lower prices compared with those from the neighbouring appellations of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, and represent good value for money. The wines are bold and reminiscent of exotic fruits and Morgeot, which lies mid-slope with a south-easterly exposure, is a perfect example of this style. Morgeot lies on the border between the Côte d'Or and Saone-et-Loire regions, which was a boundary in the Gallo-Roman period. At this time this plot of land was called Morga from the Latin margo which means edge border from which today's name Morgeot is derived.

Tasting Note
	With a very attractive nose, our Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Morgeot" 2017 reveals melon and citrus fruit flavors, such as lemon and grapefruit. The mouth is very fresh and crisp with peach hints. Well-balanced.
