Domaine Armand Heitz Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot 2017
Vendor code : 515
In 1150, the monks of Citeaux Abbey planted vines in this special area, naming it the "Lieu-dit de Chassagne-Montrachet." The modern name came much later. The vineyard’s clay-limestone soils yield rich, balanced, and highly mineral wines. A small plot of 0.44 hectares in the Premier Cru Le Morjot belongs to the Armand Heitz.

The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot 2017 offers nuanced aromas of white flowers, ripe pear, apple pie, white plum, and hazelnut. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, rounded, and mineral, with well-balanced acidity and a vibrant sense of energy and tension on the finish. This wine also shows excellent aging potential.
The Premier Cru Le Morgeot spans 58 hectares and is situated in the southern part of the appellation on clay-limestone soils. The domaine owns a 0.44-hectare plot, with vines planted in 2007. The yield is 45 hl/ha. The wine is aged on lees in oak barrels for 10-12 months. Grapes are harvested by hand, and fermentation occurs in neutral tanks with natural yeasts. Batonnage is performed during aging, and no sulfur is added during vinification or at bottling.
