About
Roger Belland Chassagne-Montrachet "Clos Pitois" Morgeot 1er Cru 2021 is an exquisite dry white wine, made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, sourced from the renowned "Clos Pitois" vineyard within the prestigious Morgeot 1er Cru appellation in Chassagne-Montrachet, Burgundy, France. This wine is a vibrant testament to the Belland family's five generations of winemaking, showcasing a meticulous vineyard management and a precise winemaking approach that respects the unique microclimate and terroir of the Clos Pitois. The 2021 vintage reflects the commitment to quality and tradition that Roger Belland is known for, yielding a wine that beautifully expresses the character and complexity of its Chardonnay grapes.
Producer
The Roger-Joseph Belland winery has been owned by the Belland family for the sixth generation. The vineyards are mostly located in the best terroirs of Les Maranges, Santenay, Chassagne Montrachet, Puligny Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay and Pommard Premiers and Grands Crus. The harvest is done entirely by hand, with a very careful selection of the best grapes, which are later moved into very small boxes so that nothing spoils the perfect berries. Maceration and fermentation, thanks to modern technologies, take place at very low temperatures to create complex, pleasantly round and fruity wines. After aging in French oak barrels, the wines are bottled right there in the winery.
Tasting notes
The Roger Belland Chassagne-Montrachet “Clos Pitois” Morgeot 1er Cru 2021 unveils a delicate bouquet of white flowers, citrus zest, and subtle oak, leading into a palate where elegance meets complexity. Tasting notes reveal layers of crisp apple, pear, and a hint of lemon cream, intertwined with minerality and a finely integrated oak influence, culminating in a long, refined finish. This wine’s balance of acidity and nuanced flavors makes it a splendid example of what premier cru Chassagne-Montrachet can offer.
Pairing
When it comes to food pairings, this Chardonnay shines alongside dishes that echo its balance and depth, such as grilled sea bass, lobster bisque, or chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce. Its refined acidity and complex profile also make it an excellent companion to soft, creamy cheeses, where the wine’s texture and flavors are enhanced by the richness of the cheese. These pairings underscore the wine’s versatility and its ability to elevate an elegant dining experience.

Domaine Roger Belland
The Roger-Joseph Belland winery has been owned by the Belland family for the sixth generation. The vineyards are mostly located in the best terroirs of Les Maranges, Santenay, Chassagne Montrachet, Puligny Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay and Pommard Premiers and Grands Crus. The harvest is done entirely by hand, with a very careful selection of the best grapes, which are later moved into very small boxes so that nothing spoils the perfect berries. Maceration and fermentation, thanks to modern technologies, take place at very low temperatures to create complex, pleasantly round and fruity wines. After aging in French oak barrels, the wines are bottled right there in the winery.
Chassagne-Montrachet
The largest southern appellation of Côte de Beaune and home of the "white kings" of Burgundy - the most prestigious white wines in the world. The white wines here are rich, dense, expressive and with a strong character. They are made from Chardonnay grapes, have a shimmery gold colour and are characterized by fragrant aromas of acacia, nuts and fresh butter that are replaced by honey and ripe pears over time. Opening a bottle of Chassagne Montrachet is always an event that can and should be discussed, but the outcome is always the same - this wine is absolutely fantastic.
Burgundy
Burgundy (Bourgogne) can be confusing because of the multiplicity of its appellations - all the small vineyards are divided between multiple producers so it can often be difficult to understand this diversity. However, it is the exact reason why the wines of Burgundy are considered to be the finest in the world. A common topic of discussion, when talking about Burgundy, is the concept of "terroir" - a unique combination of soil and climate conditions that affects the taste of wine in the appellations, making it unique to each village. Winemakers mainly use the capricious Pinot Noir and the classical Chardonnay to create true masterpieces, while Gamay and Aligote are used to make wines of a bit simpler style. Particular attention should be paid to the hierarchy of wines. First there are the regional and village wines, a step higher - the Premier Cru wines and the outstanding Grand Cru - at the top. Due the complex and inconsistent weather that can notably impact wine quality especially in bad harvest years, a very important factor here is the so called millesime - the harvest year of the grapes the particular wine is produced of, because each of these years has its own unique taste. Purchasing Burgundy wines is not easy because there are many details that should be taken into consideration - the class of the vineyard, the assessment of the manufacturer, the age of the vines, the quality of the wine as well as the millesime and, of course, the potential of ageing. The sellers play a big role here - they must be truly passionate about wine and able to offer only the best quality producers with a good reputation. That is exactly the way "Noble Wine" works!
