Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte (2021) Gagnard-Delagrange

This domaine is now in the hands of Marie-Josèphe (daughter of Edmond Delagrange) and her grandson Marc- Antonin, after Jacques passed away in 2009. Jacques' legacy continues however and the quality at this very traditional domaine has not changed and the wines continue to impress. The wines are complex, intense, refined and long-lived. From their 3 hectares of vineyards the domaine bottles according to biodynamic practices. Needless to say, recent years of climatic turmoil in various parts of Burgundy has called for a flexible approach from discerning winemakers, and this winery is no exception. For example, in order to combat over-richness in warmer vintages, Marc-Antonin may well cut out lees stirring in the winery to produce a set of very pure wines. This is traditional Burgundy at its very best and the wines produced here represent quite amazing value.

Chassagne-Montrachet La Boudriotte 1er Cru is located on the grounds of the Morgeot Abbey and is technically a subsection of Morgeot. Boudriotte itself is made up of six individual lieux-dits, all of which may also be bottled as Morgeot 1er Cru. Gagnard-Delagrange makes nine barrels of La Boudriotte, blending from old vines in three different sections of this gently sloping, east-facing vineyard.
