Description
Established in 1959 when Jacques Gagnard married Marie-Josèphe Delagrange, Gagnard-Delagrange is one of the best domaines in Chassagne-Montrachet. After Jacques’ death in 2009, Marie-Josèphe took over the remaining three hectares. The approach remains traditional, keeping the signature of the domaine, but several innovations have been made in recent years. Competing grasses and plants have been introduced between the vines to force the roots into the limestone. In the cellar, pressed fruit goes through a spontaneous fermentation on the lees and the wines are aged in barrels for 15-18 months with around 15% new oak. The harvest took place between 27th August and 1st September. Elegantly balanced with a fine mineral freshness and excellent terroir expression.
From two plots planted in the 1950s and 1960s, the biggest being Les Brussonnes towards Santenay, the Morgeot has a bright citrus and lime bouquet. Juicy citrus flavours are balanced by a refreshing chalky mineral note on the palate. Shows great focus and persistence. Drink from 2025.
