Domaine Duc de Magenta Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 1er Clos de la Chapelle 2020
One of the first 2020 1er Cru Burgundy we’ve judged from bottle, this awe-inspiring nectar is every bit as spectacular as our barrel tastings last Fall. An alluring bouquet of fresh pears, honeysuckle and gardenia introduce a satiny texture and exhilarating flavors of lemon oil, poached apples, plus hints of buttery croissant and deliciously toasted oak on the creamy finish. This elegant white wine may be enjoyed now (decanting recommended prior to 2024) through the end of this decade. – July 2022
