Domaine Alex Moreau Morgeot, Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, France 2022

It’s impossible to discuss Chassagne-Montrachet without mentioning the name Moreau. Year to year, these celebrated wines and producers vinify and bottle some of the purest, most thought-provoking wines of the appellation. Domaine Alex Moreau is the natural progression from storied Domaine Bernard Moreau, Alex’s father and rightfully venerated vingeron in Burgundy. Employing a style of wine making that might best be described as hands-off, the house produces Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays that are sensual, opulent and utterly delicious.

In 2021, Alex assumed full control of the domaine, its winery, cellar, winemaking and vineyards. Today, Alex Moreau is proudly establishing the reputation for his own wines and direction. He and his wife Martine are the stewards of Domaine Alex Moreau. He leads the overall operations of the winery including cellar, winemaking, and the vineyards. Martine plays an active and vital role in the business, and together, they are writing the next chapter in the legacy of Domaine Alex Moreau.

"The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots ler Cru is composed, almost understated on the nose, with oyster shells and crustaced infusing the yellow fruit. Excellent delineation. The fresh, vibrant palate is more lime-infused than Moreau's other cuvées and, as such, may not have quite the same level of complexity or terroir expression. Thoroughly enjoyable - perhaps the punters' choice from the Domaine." Neal Martin 91-93
