eROBERT PARKER 92 POINTS: "In contrast, Jadot’s 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Clos de La Chapelle, from deeper soils on the back of the Abbaye Read More...
de Morgeot, possesses gorgeous depth, but it is also tightly wound and inward. Cool, saline notes dominate today, but there is more than enough fruit to allow the 2010 to develop beautifully in bottle over the coming years. The huge, textured finish leaves a lasting impression. It would be fascinating to taste both of the Jadot wines from the Abbaye de Morgeot in ten years’ time. Anticipated maturity: 2015+."

background leads to suave, generous and very round flavors that possess an abundance of dry extract that imparts a textured character to the powerful and punchy finish."
eROBERT PARKER 92 POINTS: "The 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Abbaye de Morgeot (from the front of the abbey) boasts gorgeous richness and depth as it wraps around the palate. The intensity is pure Chassagne, but the aromas and flavors are so bright the wine could easily be mistaken for Puligny. Smoke, spices and juicy apricots flesh out on a highly expressive, fleshy finish buffered by notable tension. Anticipated maturity: 2012+."

layered apricot, wet stone, floral and citrus infused nose. There is impressive power and punch to the medium weight plus flavors that are focused, tight and linear today. This serious, brooding and mineral-inflected effort will need a few years to really find its center but it should be worth the wait."

reduction on the overtly ripe and gorgeously complex nose. The rich, full-bodied and muscular flavors possess superb mid-palate concentration as the seemingly endless reserves of dry extract impart a highly textured mouth feel, all wrapped in a citrusy and minerally finish that delivers huge length. This is an opulent wine yet the focus, balance and overall sense of proportion is flawless."

and a background hint of oak toast introduces tightly wound, precise and mineral-driven flavors that are shaped by a distinctly firm acid spine. There is a saline character to the explosively long, linear and driving finish. This extremely stylish effort is unapologetically built to age and will need up to a decade in the cellar. In a word, terrific."

according to Robert Parker. The evidence for that kind of statement is clearly in the bottle. Great Chardonnays have their own gravitas in nose and palate and are a joy to imbibe; this is one of those wines. Within a framework of wood, the nose blends vibrant minerality with creamy nougat, honey blossom, ocean air and white florals. The palate has oustanding lift and great acidity that keeps the viscous mouthweight buoyant. Minerality, pear fruit, high-acid tropicals (think pineapple without it being too pineappley) and mixed cereal grains create quite a palette of flavors to complete this strong, impeccably balanced wine.

By contrast there is an excellent sense of tension to the well-delineated, intense and pure medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a dry, linear and driving finish that evidences hints of austerity. This is very backward and will need time to flesh out and develop but the material is certainly present for that to occur."

lovely floral aromas that give way to rich, generous and concentrated medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a clean, cool and precise finish. There is a citrusy character to the agreeably dry finale of moderate depth but note that my score is predicated on the assumption that more will develop with bottle age."

There is excellent density and plenty of extract to the medium-bodied flavors that possess outstanding intensity as well as mirroring the same beautiful depth of the nose on the tension-filled and gorgeously persistent finish. This is a notably dry La Romanée of class and grace." 2017+

of a world class gymnast contrasted against the massive bulk of a world class weight lifter in the Bâtard. The airy, pure, refined and elegant nose of white flower, anise and clove aromas introduces rich, full and solidly powerful flavors that are even more tightly focused and delineated on the texture, intense and explosive finish that is positively crystalline in its transparency. This is one of those 'wow' wines and highly recommended." 2012+
