The Joseph Drouhin Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Morgeot Marquis de Laguiche 2020 is a top wine from the Côte de Beaune, made from 100% Chardonnay. This wine has a bright, light golden color and offers a complex bouquet of hawthorn, apricot, lemon peel and a hint of white pepper. On the palate, the wine is full and creamy, with a lively acidity and a long, mineral finish. The wine has an alcohol content of 13% and is aged for 12 months in French oak, which contributes to its structure and complexity. It has excellent ageing potential; the wine can continue to develop until 2040. Serve the wine at 13°C and pair it with dishes such as lobster, baked sea bass or a creamy risotto. With its elegant structure and complex flavors, this wine is an excellent choice for lovers of top wines from Burgundy.

  • Grilled chicken with lemon and thyme
    This fresh and slightly smoky white Burgundy pairs well with grilled chicken, especially when seasoned with lemon and thyme. The minerality of the wine enhances the fresh flavors of the lemon, while the thyme complements the light herbal notes of the wine.

  • Salmon with a spicy mustard sauce
    The rich, creamy texture of the Joseph Drouhin Chassagne Montrachet is complemented by the fatty texture of the salmon. The mustard sauce adds a subtle sharpness that nicely balances the round, full flavors of the wine.

  • Cream cheese ravioli with spinach
    The creamy sauce of the ravioli combined with the mild taste of spinach and cream cheese perfectly matches the full, yet refined taste of this white wine. The wine has enough body to handle the richness of the sauce, without overpowering the delicate flavors.

  • Duck breast with orange
    The wine has a light acidity that works well with the sweetness of the orange sauce often served with duck breast. The complexity of the wine plays well with the depth of the duck, making the dish even more flavorful.

  • Lobster with butter and lemon
    The buttery yet fresh flavor of the wine perfectly complements the sweet, delicate flavor of the lobster. The lemon helps to lighten the fattiness of the butter, while the wine highlights the elegant flavors of the seafood dish.

  • Brie with nuts and honey
    A soft, creamy cheese like brie combined with the sweetness of honey and the crunch of nuts works well with the subtle oak notes in the wine. The texture of the cheese, the sweetness of the honey and the crunch of the nuts make for an interesting balance with the rich, yet fresh wine.

Joseph Drouhin was a bold and enterprising young man who hailed from the Chablis region. In 1880, at the age of 22, he settled in Beaune and founded his own wine company there. His goal was to offer high quality wines that would bear his name. His son Maurice succeeded him and set up a vineyard estate in front of the house, buying land in some excellent appellations such as Clos des Mouches and Clos de Vougeot. Robert Drouhin, who succeeded Maurice in 1957, gave the domain its current dimension and acquired many vineyards, especially in Chablis, where he was able to recognize its true potential. He was one of the first in Burgundy to introduce "culture raisonnée" (abolition of pesticides and other chemicals) and set up an oenology laboratory led by Laurence Jobard, the very first female oenologist in Burgundy. Philippe, Véronique, Laurent and Frédéric are the four children of Robert and Françoise Drouhin. They uphold the values of the house and its constant search for quality, for the enjoyment of all who have a deep appreciation for the natural elegance of Burgundy.

With nearly 90 different appellations, Joseph Drouhin offers a fascinating range of Burgundian terroirs in all their authenticity and subtle variations. Joseph Drouhin has adopted the organic and biodynamic approach. Only natural products are used in the vineyards and all procedures show the utmost respect for the soil, the vine and the environment. Joseph Drouhin's style is an alliance between character, balance and harmony. Wines intended to be drunk young are fresh and subtle; wines that are meant to be preserved take on a luscious complexity with age.
