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 95
"Here too there is a hint of mineral reduction lurking in the background of the cool aromas of Granny Smith apples, white flower and a vague wisp of exotic tea. There is superb intensity to the sappy and voluminous medium weight plus flavors that possess a highly attractive sense of underlying tension on the focused, balanced and impressively long finale. This beauty is quite tightly wound at present and a wine that should repay extended keeping. Highly recommended." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Grands Ruchottes 1er Cru has an engaging apple blossom and crushed stone scented bouquet with just the slightest reduction. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, taut and fresh with a very mineral-driven, calcaire finish that leaves the tongue tingling with glee. Superb." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 96
"The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Grandes Ruchottes is as brilliant as usual. Offering up aromas of pear, crisp green apple, white flowers, Meyer lemon, pastry cream, beeswax and freshly baked bread, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and satiny, with prodigious levels of concentration, racy acids and chalky structuring extract. Concluding with a long, penetrating finish, it's built for the cellar." -William Kelley
