Domaine Bernard Moreau has always been a great producer: superb vineyards, great farming, and careful work in the cellar. It is difficult and painstaking work to improve something that is already near its best. Throughout their long tenure Alex and Benoît Moreau have continued to make tiny improvements year after year, vintage after vintage. Their dedication has paid off and they have reached the top tier of white Burgundy producers. I think of them as the Roulot of Chassagne in terms of leanness, minerality, and letting terroir speak.

Alex and Benoît have been in total control of the domaine since 1999, after completing formal studies and long apprenticeships abroad. Alex is the winemaker, Benoît concentrates on the farming, and they both work on the now extended élevage. These two have reinvigorated their two hundred-year-old family property, the wines are better than they ever have been.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2019 Meursault Porusot-Dessus 1er Cru is not actually the first vintage as Alex Moreau made it in 2017 and 2018 especially for their Hong Kong importer. Alex Moreau keeps half of the production and this will be distributed through his other agents. It comes from a mixture of purchased fruit and purchased grapes from the same source. It has an attractive bouquet with vanilla pod and egg white scents discretely intertwined with the citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced with a lightly spiced entry, crisp and focused if just missing a little Meursault DNA towards the slightly tapered finish. Fine." -Neal Martin

"A négociant cuvée, the 2019 Meursault 1er Cru Porusot Dessus is quite promising, offering up aromas of pear, green apple, white flowers, pastry cream and toasted almonds. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise, it's vibrant and penetrating, concluding with a saline finish." -William Kelley
