The finest sites of Chassagne’s 1er Cru Morgeot (where 20 separate lieux-dits can be bottled) lie in the upper sector, above the main road on the poorer, white soils. Les Fairendes is one of these sites. Thierry Pillot once told us that his grandfather used to say that this vineyard—situated just below Les Caillerets—was the finest terroir within Morgeot (Pillot has no holding here, so we can take his word to be impartial). This wine is as far from your average Morgeot as you could imagine. It’s an incredibly mineral wine: chalky, driven, powerful and long. Brilliant.

Reviews

“This site can sometimes deliver rather fat wines in ripe vintages, but the 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Les Fairendes is terrific, unwinding in the glass with aromas of pear, orange zest, white flowers and vanilla pod. It's medium to full-bodied, glossy and enveloping, with racy acids and a penetrating finish.”
91-93 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Les Fairendes 1er Cru comes from 0.5 hectares of vines and is matured in 20% new oak. It has a wonderful bouquet with so much harmony, and the oak seamlessly integrated. Hints of hazelnut, roasted almonds and a touch of stem ginger. The palate is well-balanced, with a slight creamy texture on the entry and a sharp line of acidity counterbalancing the concentrated finish. A superb Chassagne.”
