🏰 Bernard Dugat-Py's 2017 Chassagne Montrachet Blanc Morgeot 1er Cru is a meticulously crafted Chardonnay from a "very warm" and high-quality vintage, where production volumes were restored to normal levels. Sourced from the renowned Morgeot Premier Cru vineyard with its clay-limestone soils, this wine is aged for 18 to 20 months in 100% new oak casks and bottled unfiltered, reflecting a traditional vinification approach. It presents an intense floral bouquet with yellow fruit flavors, evolving to notes of green tea, citrus, and minerals, with hints of pear, hazelnuts, and mandarin oil. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, offering a smooth texture, ripe white fruit, and a vibrant acidity, culminating in a long, racy, and remarkably flavorful finish. 🍴 This versatile white Burgundy is an excellent match for classic seafood dishes like grilled lobster, pan-seared scallops, or turbot in hollandaise sauce. It also harmonizes beautifully with poultry and white meats, especially when served in a cream sauce, such as chicken with morels or veal sweetbreads. For cheese pairings, consider well-aged Époisses or fresh goat's cheese. 🥂 The 2017 Chassagne Montrachet Blanc Morgeot 1er Cru is currently drinking beautifully, showcasing both its youthful vibrancy and developing complexity. While enjoyable now, it possesses significant aging potential, capable of evolving gracefully for another 7 to 10 years or more. Serve it chilled between 12-14°C (53-57°F), and if enjoying in its youth, consider decanting for several hours to allow its full aromatic spectrum to unfold.
