Bernard Moreau’s 2018 Morgeot blends fruit from Les Fairendes and the domaine’s monopole, La Cardeuse. Alex Moreau harvested early to retain freshness and structure, emphasizing a taut, mineral style over opulence.

Fermented and aged in oak with restraint, this Premier Cru Chardonnay is precise and saline, showing the tension and energy that define Moreau’s approach to Chassagne terroir.

Left Cote de Beaune

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

Burghound

BH 92
"Like the Champ Gains, this is sufficiently reduced to blur the distinctions of what appears to be notably ripe fruit. By contrast, there is very good freshness to the dense, serious and muscular larger-scaled flavors that possess fine depth and persistence on the balanced finish that flirts with rusticity. This isn't elegant but it's a very good Morgeot." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots 1er Cru has a tight, backward, stony bouquet; Alex Moreau mentioned that he strove to pick at the right time to keep a sense of strictness. The palate is taut and fresh on the entry, with a fine bead of acidity. Elegant and refined, without the weight of the Champs Gain or La Maltroye on the midpalate, but conveying a sense of athleticism and poise on the saline finish and an exceptionally persistent aftertaste. Superb." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot was one of the more reserved wines in the cellar when I tasted it, unwinding with notes of pear, peach, white flowers, mint and petrol. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, textural and precise, but needs time to fill out. Of course, that sense of reserve at this early stage is full of promise for the future." -William Kelley

Decanter

"Based on heavier, clay-limestone soils than most of Chassagne's Premiers Crus, this plush, powerful white is made with fruit from Les Fairendes and slightly stonier La Cardeuse. Smoky, oatmealy and textured, with beeswax and kitchen spice aromas, a taut mineral core and a palate-coating finish. Alex Moreau calls this a 'wine to lay down' and he's right."
