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.
Morgeot has long been the flagship appellation of Chassagne, consistently reflecting the village’s distinctive style. The intensity of the wines varies based on the clay content of the soil and the viticulturist’s craftsmanship. The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot 2021 offers fresh aromas of orchard white fruits, complemented by subtle hints of minerals and sea salt. On the palate, it shows both tension and volume, giving the wine a vibrant, energetic character.
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.
