Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
The Morgeot vineyard is home to perhaps the most prestigious terroir of the famed Chassagne-Montrachet appellation. This is a great value in 1er Cru from a top vintage. The warmth of 2009 is evident here in a round and plush Chardonnay with plenty of poise. Displays aromas and flavours of sweet citrus, apple, pear, roasted nuts, butter cream and smoke, along with subtle herbal nuances. Enjoy over the next 4-5 years. Source: Vintages Wine Panel
