Technical notes Site: south of the Cote de Beaune, not too far fromthe city of Beaune. It is one of the famous villages of the ”Cote des Blancs” producing great white wines (the others are Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet). History & tradition: the vineyard (2. 26 ha - 5. 65 acres) is on a gradual slope. Some old buildings, partially ruined, are found at mid-slope - the Abbey of Morgeot. It had two owners: men of prayer and men of the sword: monks from the abbey and the Laguiche family. During the French Revolution, the abbey was ruined but the estate of the Laguiche family was spared and remains to this day. Soil: marl and limestone.
Food pairing Due to the refinement of their bouquet and the elegance of their flavors, these great white wines are unquestionably destined to accompany haute cuisine : shellfish cooked in a light wine sauce (court-bouillon) or any delicate fish (such as Dover sole) prepared grilled or poached. The wine should be served no colder than 13°C (57°F).
