Domaine Henri Germain Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Les Fairendes 2023

92 POINTS

William Kelley - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Les Fairendes has turned out nicely, offering up aromas of sweet orchard fruit, peaches, toasted nuts and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's suave and giving, with a lively core of fruit and a saline finish. This is, as usual, the richest wine in the range, but it hasn't lost its balance. Points: 91-93

Neal Martin - Vinous

The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Les Fairendes 1er Cru offers fine concentration on the nose, although it doesn't quite have the complexity of Germain's Meursault Premier Crus. Maybe this has more to give once in bottle, like an excellent 2019 drunk the night before my visit. The palate is well balanced with a crisp line of acidity, touches of orange rind and a light cough candy trait, though it doesn't quite kick on toward the finish. Points: 88-90
