The 2022 Joseph Drouhin Marquis de Laguiche Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru “Morgeot” is a dazzling expression of Chardonnay from one of Chassagne-Montrachet’s most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. The Marquis de Laguiche label represents some of the finest wines produced by Joseph Drouhin, crafted from a vineyard site that benefits from the ideal combination of limestone-rich soils and a slightly warmer microclimate, resulting in wines of both power and finesse.

In the glass, this wine glows with a radiant golden hue. The nose is captivating and complex, offering aromas of ripe white peach, pear, and Meyer lemon, interwoven with notes of acacia blossoms, toasted almonds, and a delicate touch of vanilla from refined oak aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied and impeccably balanced, with a creamy texture supported by vibrant acidity. Layers of citrus, orchard fruit, and subtle honeyed nuances are underscored by a chalky minerality, leading to a long, elegant finish with a whisper of spice.

The 2022 vintage, marked by a warm growing season, lends richness and opulence to the wine while preserving its hallmark freshness and precision. This Premier Cru Chardonnay is an ideal pairing for dishes such as lobster in beurre blanc, roasted chicken with truffle, or creamy mushroom risotto. While delightful now for its expressive fruit and supple texture, it has the structure to evolve beautifully over the next 8–12 years, rewarding patience with additional depth and complexity. The Marquis de Laguiche “Morgeot” is a quintessential example of the Joseph Drouhin philosophy, combining tradition, elegance, and exceptional quality.
