Bernard Moreau’s two sons, Alex and Benoit, now spearhead the winemaking chez Bernard Moreau, and continue to support the estate’s ‘hands off’ mentality. With 14 hectares to the family name, Bernard’s sons Alex and Benoit have headed the vineyards since 1999, continuing to support the estate’s ‘hands off’ mentality, while building the family’s unmatchable reputation. Their Chassagne-Montrachet is classically elegant. Marked by a rich and round body, the wine is noted with flavors of tart peach, bright citrus, lemon cream, and sweet spice.
Elegant and precise, the wine shows flavors of lemon cream, crushed stones, honeycomb, fresh pastry dough, and salt — think Chevenottes meets Vergers. This rich yet elegant white pairs with a variety of foods, especially poultry and rich seafood dishes. Fleshy yet taut, finished with green apple-driven acidity.
This medium to full-bodied stunner from Bernard Moreau is essential for White Burgundy aficionados. Simply stunning!
