Domaine Rene Lequin-Colin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Morgeot 2020

The new arrival Morgeot 1er Cru 2020 features an array of beautifully balanced tropical fruit, citrus and mineral notes. Our panel commented, “this is a seriously tasty wine” (+ ‘hard to spit’)! The spicy finish bodes well for aging if you are patient. Enjoy now through 2026. – October 2022

Domaine Rene Lequin-Colin Winery

The Lequin family’s winemaking history is nothing short of impressive, dating back
nearly 350 years (1673). Their enviable 1er and grand cru holdings are mostly split
between Chassagne-Montrachet & Santenay and have all been farmed organically since
2009. The Lequin-Colins are fortunate to have lieux dits, 1er and grand cru holdings in
Chassagne, including Morgeot, Vergers, and Caillerets among the former, and precisely
14 rows of vines in the majestic Bâtard-Montrachet in the latter. Further, they have a
literal outlier in their holdings on the hill of Corton, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru,
from which the domaine’s grandest wine comes. Lequin-Colin range represents an
all-too-rare opportunity to tap into a source of tremendous quality and value in Burgundy.
