Domaine Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru En Virondat 2018

Critical Acclaim: 94 pts Decanter; 94 pts Vinous; 93 pts Wine Spectator. 

Tasting Notes: "En Virondot is almost a monopoly vineyard high on the slope above Chassagne-Montrachet, totalling 1.9 out of 2ha. It’s always a racy, tangy, chiselled wine, even in hotter vintages, and that's certainly the case here, showing mouth-watering freshness, chalky intensity and the subtle oak that's a feature of Sabine Mollard's winemaking style."- Decanter. 

"The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Virondot 1er Cru has a knockout bouquet of intense, beautifully defined citrus fruit, orange blossom and licorice aromas. The palate is very well balanced, the 25% new oak neatly folded into energetic citrus fruit that dovetails into a very concentrated, persistent finish."- Vinous. 

"The creamy texture and harmony of this white meshes nicely with the lemon, apple, seashore and smoky flavors. Builds nicely to a long, smoke- and spice-tinged aftertaste." Wine Spectator. 

Varietal: Chardonnay.
