Comte Senard Chassagne-Montrachet 'Abbaye de Morgeot' Premier Cru 2020 is a compelling expression of this historic climat, combining richness with structure and site-driven character. The nose is layered and precise, opening with ripe stone fruit, pear, and citrus zest, followed by notes of hazelnut, toasted almond, and subtle brioche from extended ageing in new French oak. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied with a broad, textured mouthfeel typical of Morgeot vineyard. Flavors of yellow apple, peach, and lemon curd are supported by a firm mineral backbone and fresh acidity that keeps the wine balanced and age-worthy. The finish is long and savory, with gentle spice and saline nuances, making this a serious Premier Cru for collectors that will reward both near-term enjoyment and continued cellaring.
Note - 'Abbaye de Morgeot' is a tiny plot within the highly acclaimed 'Morgeot' vineyard which is classified Premer Cru. This is a wine from a micro-climate showcasing the essence of the vineyard.

Terroir
Most of the hard work it takes to produce quality wine happens in the vinyard. The soil, the climatic conditions, the aspect, the bodies of water and many more factors, collectively knwon as "terroir" can influence the flavour of wine and give wine distint minerality, depth and character.
