BENOIT MOREAU Chassagne-Montrachet 2023

BENOIT MOREAU Chassagne-Montrachet 2023Wine Region: Burgundy France Grape: Chardonnay Tasting notes: "Maturing in used barrels, the 2022 Chassagne Montrachet Blanc offers up aromas of pear, stone fruit, oatmeal and bread dough, followed by a medium to full bodied, ample and satiny palate that's bright and saline. It's suave and precise, true to Moreau's style." William Kelley, The Wine Advocate About the winery: Following the division of Domaine Bernard Moreau in November 2020, Benoit

About the winery:
Following the division of Domaine Bernard Moreau in November 2020, Benoit Moreau took his share of the vineyard to start his own estate. Before the separation, Bernard’s sons, Alex and Benoit, worked in the family estate, Domaine Bernard Moreau, along with their father until 1999. Later Alex and Benoit became the sole custodians of the family domain for the last 21 years, from 1999 to 2020. The first vintage from Benoit’s own vineyard is 2021. "Moreau is clearly an accomplished winemaker who is hitting the ground running. Overnight, a new star has been added to Chassagne's firmament, and importers will want to beat a path to Benoit's door." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
