Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Bernard Moreau, Burgundy, France 2021
Domaine Bernard Moreau is on everyone’s lips right now. Since brothers, Alex and Benoit Moreau, took over the reins in the mid-1990s, the dynamic duo have put all their enthusiasm, experience and expertise towards bringing the family domaine to the peak of its potential – Benoit in the vineyard and Alex in the winery. It has been a gradual evolution, but it seems as if everything has come together in the last couple of years and what once was a solid domaine making commendable wines is now the name that everyone wants to be associated with.
The beauty of tasting hundreds of 2021s side-by-side, as we did at the en primeur tastings, is that it allows the tall poppies to stand out and this ‘village’ white was taller than many of its peers. That’s a testament to the winemaking talent here and if you want the very best that white Burgundy can offer without paying Grand Cru prices, then look no further. 13% alc. Drink now-2035.

Press reviews:
The Wine Advocate: “The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Village exhibits aromas of pear, toasted nuts, white flowers and citrus oil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny palate with tangy acids and a seamless, elegant profile.” (89-91) points
