The 2020 Morgeot Tête de Clos is one of the top premier crus made at Ballot-Millot, a great address for white Burgundy that continues to fly under the radar. Charles Ballot leads his family domaine with meticulous organic farming and precision winemaking that balances richness with tension. Tête de Clos is a superior section within the larger Morgeot Premier Cru, renowned for its deeper, clay-limestone soils and the ability to produce structured, age-worthy whites with notable power and mineral depth. 2020 was on the warmer side and yielded slightly lower quantities, which contributed to concentrated wines that retained freshness and drive. This bottling shows layered notes of citrus oil, ripe pear, toasted hazelnut, and flint, supported by vibrant acidity and a long, chalky finish. A serious, cellar-worthy Chassagne that reflects both site and vintage with clarity, it’s a top-tier white Burgundy that is starting to show well now, perfect for collectors seeking a top Morgeot at a great price!

Vinous (Neil Martin) 94 points! "The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Tête du Clos 1er Cru has a slightly more malic bouquet, well-defined and mineral-driven. This unveils greater marine influence with time in the glass. The palate has fine concentration and balance, very detailed with crisp mineralité and tension. A saline presence gets the saliva flowing. Quite linear towards the finish, this is a very classy Chassagne, even if it doesn't fully match the top wines in this flight. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (Drink between 2025-2048)"

Jasper Morris MW (Inside Burgundy) 94 points! "A fine lively colour, with a little reduction but fresh in the fruit profile. There is plenty of underlying weight to this, a good natural acid balance, the fruit evenly distributed across the palate."
