Domaine Bouard-Bonnefoy Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Les Petits Clos 2018

95 point premier cru white Burgundy for under $100 just doesn't happen. We are beyond thrilled to have a minuscule parcel of this beauty. The warm 2018 vintage was near perfect in this small walled section within the excellent Morgeot vineyard. Fabrice's tiny production in his cellar beneath his house in the middle of Chassagne, is the epitome of a garagiste wine, with a scant 30 or 40 barrels of wine produced each vintage. Jeb Dunnuck fell for this hard in his 95 point review calling it, "a more steely, vibrant bouquet of white flowers, honeyed citrus, lemon, crushed stone, and green almonds. With flawless balance, integrated oak, a chiseled, focused texture, and a great finish, this gorgeous Chardonnay will shine for upwards of a decade, if you're so inclined." Less than 100 bottles available of this gem of wine. We get lychee, lemon creme brûlée, lilac, apple pie crust, a splash of vanilla and green mango aromas. The mouth is vibrant and balanced with kumquat, poached pear, marzipan and more hints of tropicality on the palate and through the finish.
