Intense and fleshy on the palate, but kept on the straight and narrow by a vibrant acidity. There is a marked minerality on the lingering finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Abbaye de Morgeot' takes its name from the priory here which used to house monks and is one of the most prized Premier Crus in Chassagne-Montrachet. Located mid-slope towards the south of the appellation, near the border with Santenay. David Moret works with a small 'Clos' parcel here, surrounded by dry stone walls. The Chardonnay vines are planted on clay limestone soils and the average vine age is around 50 years old.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eUpon arrival at the winery, the Chardonnay grapes were gently whole-bunch pressed and gravity fed into 228-litre French oak 'fûts' where they underwent fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine went through malolactic fermentation and was aged in these same French oak barrels, 20 - 25% of which were new, for around 11 months. The final blend was assembled and the wine was bottled without fining or filtration in November.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDavid Moret is a micro-négociant who makes wines in his small cellar in Beaune. He studied oenology, but then went on to sell winemaking supplies before finally deciding to make wines himself. With no family-owned vines, he bought grapes to vinify, purchasing his first barrels in the late 1990s and starting his own label in 2000. Since then, he has continued to buy small parcels of grapes from top growers, to vinify in his cellars. Fermented using indigenous yeasts, the wines are bottled without fining or filtration after the natural settling that occurs during their period in oak. David uses 20% new oak for his Villages wines and up to 40% new oak for his Premiers and Grands Crus.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64510296129913,"sku":"10197122","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/DavidMoretChassagneMontrachet1erCruAbbayedeMorgeot.jpg?v=1788895318","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/david-moret-chassagne-montrachet-1er-cru-abbaye-de-morgeot-2022","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
