Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Morgeot" has a southeast exposure mid-slope. "Morgeot" is a hamlet of Chassagne-Montrachet. Vines have been planted here since the Abbot of Maizières decided to clear and plant the territory of Morgeot in the 15th century. Only a quarter of the Premier Cru of this appellation are planted with Pinot Noir. The red wines of Morgeot are balanced and sometimes a little firm in their youth, but patience will be greatly rewarded.
