Burgundy, France
Maison Louis Jadot’s story can’t be reduced to a simple list of dates. It is, above all, a summary of moments, meetings and an overall philosophy, all based on one simple vision: to maintain the grandeur of Burgundy’s great terroirs for all time.
It all began with a parcel of vines. And we all know just how important these individual bits of land are in Burgundy. It was with the purchase of the Beaune Premier Cru Clos des Ursules that the story of Maison Louis Jadot began in 1826. For nearly 200 years they have focused their energies on promoting Burgundy and its viticultural heritage. Ever since the birth of Maison Louis Jadot, they have managed to reunite hundreds of parcels of vines, handing them down from one generation to another in order to guarantee the quality of the wines from this unique terroir.

More Info
Chassagne-Montrachet is one of the five villages of the Cote de Blancs. Premier Cru vineyards face east and southeast, and the Chardonnay grapes are grown in soils of brown clay and limestone. Morgeot is among the top handful of Premier Cru vineyards in the commune; Clos de la Chapelle is an enclosed monopole on the site of an old chapel. The Chardonnay grapes are fermented in oak barrels, and then the wine is barrel matured for 12 to 15 months.

"A rich and powerful Chassagne-Montrachet with some pineapple character, due to the very ripe vintage, next to the citrus that we expect. Built on quite an imposing scale, but with lovely lemon-zest freshness and fine tannins that support the flamboyant body. Long, quite stony finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

"The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle 1er Cru has an effervescent, energetic bouquet with wet limestone, citrus peel and light orange pith scents - all very seductive and well-defined. The palate is nicely balanced with slightly more depth and grip than Simon Colin's Morgeot. The silver thread of acidity lends this energy. It is very poised, but there is a coiled-up sense of animation and life-affirming mineralité on the finish." - Neal Martin

"The grapes are lightly crushed and fermented in cask (one-quarter new), to give this wine with aromas of ripe apricots and quince. The texture is broad and rich, with a density that probably needs a bit of age. At present is seems luxurious, but a bit heavy. The Clos de la Chapelle (Morgeot) is a monopole of the Duc de Magenta that Jadot has traditionally rented. It is just downslope from lieu-dit Morgeot, and is planted to both Pinot and Chardonnay (this section of 1.79ha is planted to the latter)."

"The swan song for this cuvée is the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle (Duc de Magenta), a muscular, concentrated wine that exhibits aromas of orange oil, peach, buttery pastry and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural, with a fleshy core of ripe fruit and bright balancing acids, it offers a classic expression of Morgeot in all its exuberance."
James Suckling, Aug/2021

"A very sophisticated Chassagne-Montrachet. Less aromatically extravagant than most of the 2019 white Burgundies, this opens slowly as it aerates in the glass. So many nuances of white fruit and jasmine. Ripe and rich, but very elegant, with a suave and supple texture that makes it glide over your palate. Drink or hold."

"The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle (Duc de Magenta) is another success, offering up aromas of crisp stone fruit, orange oil, buttered toast, struck flint and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, deep and complete, it's a satiny, layered, textural wine, with bright acids and a long, expansive finish."
Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Apr 2021

"The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle (Duc de Magenta) is showing nicely from bottle, unwinding in the glass with notes of pear, crisp yellow orchard fruit, fresh apricot, pastry cream and toasted macadamia nut. This is medium to full-bodied, tangy and tightly wound, with racy acids and a phenolic finish. It should develop nicely in the cellar and once again represents one of the longer-haul propositions in the range."

"A candidate for extended cellaring in Jadot's range this year is the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle (Domaine du Duc de Magenta), a beautifully incisive wine that meets the high expectations I formed when I tasted it from barrel a year ago. Opening in the glass with aromas of crisp Anjou pear, peach, fresh pastry and honeycomb, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and youthfully tight-knit, with fabulous structural tension and a racy spine of acidity. Bottled under Diam 30, this tensile but concentrated Morgeot will really begin to sing in six or seven years."
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, Jan/2019

"The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle a monopole of the domaine, released as usual under the Duc de Magenta label – has an attractive white peach and white-chocolate-tinged bouquet that gains intensity with aeration, displaying impressive definition and vigor. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, more complex than the Abbaye de Morgeot and more nuanced toward the poised, mineral-driven finish. The slight nuttiness on the aftertaste completes a very impressive Chassagne. (DIAM GC closure)"

"The 2016 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle (Duc de Magenta) is showing very well from bottle, unfurling in the glass with aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, marzipan, beeswax and a subtle framing of smoky oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, dense and thickly textured, with imposing concentration and chewy dry extract but balanced by succulent acids, concluding with a long, mineral finish. While the frost has made this atypically concentrated, this Morgeot remains in balance and appears to have all the necessary elements for a very interesting evolution in bottle."
Antonio Galloni’s Vinous, Sept/2017

“Sexy if reticent nose combines lemon, lime, grapefruit, mirabelle and smoky minerality. Lovely rich, spicy, floral wine with terrific intensity and exhilarating sweetness. Harmonious acidity gives this premier cru excellent balance and definition from the start. Finishes brisk, precise and very long, with an old-vines concentration. Jadot made about 40 barrels of this wine, which is close to normal production from its two hectares of vines.”
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, Sept/2016

"(from older vines on stony soil at lower altitude than the Abbaye de Morgeot, but this plot is steeper as the Abbaye de Morgeot is situated in a cuvette): Lemon oil and spices on the reticent nose. Tighter and more citrussy than the Abbaye de Morgeot; more firmly structured. Finishes longer and saltier but less open to inspection today. This will need time."
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, Sept/2015

"(these vines are between 70 and 80 years of age): Bright lemon-yellow. Very ripe but subdued aromas of lemon drop, lavender and crushed herbs. Densely packed and powerful, displaying a lovely sugar/acid balance and penetrating minerality. Barnier blocked part of the malolactic fermentation here. Great spine for long aging. (this got a bit of blocked ML). This salty, extract-rich, almost tannic wine has the spine for long aging. From deep soil."
Wine Spectator, Aug/2014

"This is marked by new oak but features plenty of stuffing, with pear, apple, lemon and butterscotch aromas and flavors corralled by vibrant acidity. Leaves a long, spice-tinged aftertaste."
Allen Meadows' Burghound.com, Jun/2014

"There is a background nuance of wood on the opulent, rich and solidly well-concentrated middle weight flavors that possess good muscle on the palate coating finish."
