The young Armand Heitz directs this small but growing domaine whose range of reds will continue to expand over the next few years, in fact the Morgeot is the latest addition. With respect to the 2017 vintage, Heitz noted that
"after avoiding another potential frost-related disaster we enjoyed a pretty easy and warm growing season. The harvest arrived early as we began picking the Chevalier-Montrachet on the 27th of August and then attacked the rest of the range. Yields were quite good for the pinot but not so much for the chardonnay as there was quite a bit of shatter during the flowering. The fruit was clean and ripe and I used 100% whole clusters for the vinifications which were easy to manage. As to the wines, I like the reds and I really like the whites and both should age well."
A discreet application of wood sets off the moderately floral-inflected nose of resin, apple and pear compote. There is good volume but also good vibrancy and especially so for Morgeot on the medium-bodied flavors that are muscular and solidly powerful on the mildly rustic finish. Despite a minor touch of warmth this is really quite good. Drink 2023+
