These are the last bottles we have of the new release of Morgeot from Lamy-Pillot today, and it is a top insider buy in the white Burgundy category, made by Sébastien Caillat, the same winemaker behind the sought-after, and nearly eight times more expensive, Lamy-Caillat label. Drawing fruit from the Petit Clos sector of Morgeot, this wine reflects the stony limestone soils of the area with clarity and finesse. While 2024 was a much smaller and more difficult vintage in Burgundy, the best white wines show real precision, freshness, and site transparency, and this looks to be one of the strongest Morgeots yet from this address. Caillat employs classical methods, including fermentation and aging in used French oak with minimal manipulation, resulting in structured, mineral-driven wines built to age. While nearly identical in style and execution to the Lamy-Caillat bottlings, this wine comes at a fraction of the price, making it a smart buy for collectors. It is a fantastic buy from one of Burgundy’s top winemakers and a great example of this favorite Chassagne premier cru, especially at this low price!
Jasper Morris 93 points! "Pale colour, a softer white orchard fruit on the nose, there being more clay in the soil here. The mouth retains a certain juiciness, with the apples expanding towards the back of the palate. Clean and correct."
