Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot
The estate's eponymous wine, the Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot comes from the historic parcels that adjoin the Cistercian abbey founded in 1150. This emblematic Premier Cru of the Côte de Beaune carries within it eight centuries of Burgundian winegrowing tradition. The Cistercian monks were the first to identify the exceptional potential of this Chassagne-Montrachet terroir, and the Mac Mahon family, Duc de Magenta, has passionately upheld this heritage since the 19th century.
The 2020 vintage, generous and sun-drenched, has given rise to a wine of remarkable power and complexity. This Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru masterfully combines breadth and finesse, strength and elegance. Traditional vinification in French oak barrels, followed by 14 to 18 months of ageing — one third of which in new oak — has allowed the expression of this exceptional terroir to be sublimated without ever masking it.
With a production limited to around 3,500 bottles per year, this ageworthy wine reflects the demanding pursuit of quality that drives the Abbaye de Morgeot estate. Every bottle tells the story of a unique place where Cistercian heritage and viticultural excellence meet at the heart of the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation.
