From the esteemed Burgundy house Louis Latour, this Premier Cru Chardonnay hails from Chassagne-Montrachet, a village celebrated for producing wines of richness, depth, and exotic fruit character.
The “Morgeot” vineyard, located on a south-east facing mid-slope, is one of the most renowned Premier Cru sites in the appellation. Its historical roots trace back to 864, with the name derived from the Latin margo, meaning “edge” or “border,” reflecting its position along an ancient territorial boundary. The terroir here produces wines that are both generous and structured, with a distinctive tropical nuance.
Crafted using traditional Burgundian methods, the wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation and is aged for 8–10 months in French oak barrels (50% new, medium toast) from the Louis Latour cooperage. This careful élevage enhances both texture and aromatic complexity, resulting in a wine that is bold yet elegantly balanced.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is white Burgundy with real generosity: a Premier Cru Chardonnay from the Morgeot vineyard in Chassagne-Montrachet, a south-east facing mid-slope site whose name comes from the Latin margo, meaning edge or border. Louis Latour puts it through full malolactic fermentation and ages it 8–10 months in French oak barrels from the house's own cooperage, half of them new and medium toasted. The result is round and full-bodied. Grilled almond and vanilla lead on the nose, lifted by ripe mango and fresh mint. Marzipan, almond paste and exotic fruit follow on the palate before a long, pure finish. It suits the Chardonnay drinker ready to step up to Premier Cru, and the collector who wants the richer, more exotic side of Chassagne without losing precision. We carry it because it shows clearly what Morgeot does: opulence held in check by structure and freshness. Open it for a seafood dinner or a celebration, and give it a proper Burgundy glass so the creamy texture and layered aromatics have room.
Pairs well with
- Lobster or seared scallops — The wine's rich, enveloping texture and creamy almond notes match the sweetness and richness of shellfish.
- Tangy goat cheese — Its opulent marzipan and tropical fruit character balances the cheese's tangy profile.
- Celebratory dinner party — Its bold yet elegant style and long, persistent finish make it a standout bottle for refined, special-occasion meals.
