2004 Duchesse de Magenta "Abbaye de Morgeot"...

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot - Cuvée Duchesse de MAGENTA - élevage Louis Jadot 2004 The Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru "Abbaye de Morgeot" (Cuvée Duchesse de Magenta), 2004, is an exceptional dry white wine from Burgundy, produced by Domaine du Duc de Magenta (managed by Maison Louis Jadot for winemaking or marketed under this historic name associated with the Cistercian site of Morgeot). Vintage 2004 in Burgundy: a classic, fresh and balanced year, which today yields white wines that have developed a beautiful tertiary complexity (aromas of dried fruits, honey, undergrowth or toasted bread while preserving a mineral character). About the vintage Situated in the heart of the Burgundian climate of Morgeot, the tutelary abbey, now in ruins, is surrounded by vineyards from which this beautiful Chardonnay typical of the appellation originates. The Louis Jadot house has just under half a hectare on this rich terroir, composed mainly of marl and clay. Its bright color, with deep gold reflections, is tinged with light green shades when this wine is young. On the nose, fresh and floral notes (hawthorn, honeysuckle and acacia) surround a mineral base (silex) enriched with verbena and fresh hazelnut. Aged 15 months on fine lees after malolactic fermentation, buttery notes round off the whole. With age, this wine gains in complexity with flavors of honey and ripe pear. Opulent and generous after a lively attack, the persistent fat of this wine gives it roundness and nobility. A great wine for aging; you will need to keep it in the cellar for a long time to fully enjoy it.
