Tasting Notes
Benoît’s Bourgogne Blanc comes exclusively from three parcels, all in Chassagne-Montrachet. The vines are over 20 years old and grow on the lower slopes of the village, on deeper, clay-rich soils. Even at this level, the wine was aged for 18 months before release and is stunning—deep, mineral and long. Incredible for its level.
“The 2023 Bourgogne Blanc wafts from the glass with aromas of pear, freshly baked bread, white flowers and nuts, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and saline palate that's pure and succulent. It's a strong start to a terrific range.” 89-90 points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate
Benoît Moreau is one of the most exciting new domaines in Chassagne-Montrachet, although Benoît himself is certainly no newcomer. He spent more than two decades working alongside his brother Alex at Domaine Bernard Moreau, where he was primarily responsible for the vineyards, before the brothers went their separate ways in 2020. Benoît took around four hectares of the family’s vines and established his own domaine, including some exceptional parcels in Chassagne’s best Premier Cru sites.
Benoît is obsessive about his vineyards, farming organically and biodynamically, working largely by hand and using small machinery to minimise soil compaction. His holdings include Les Grandes Ruchottes, La Maltroie, Les Fairendes and La Cardeuse, with individual parcels increasingly bottled separately to highlight the differences between sites. In the cellar, indigenous fermentations, restrained oak and long élevage allow the vineyards to do the talking. These are beautifully precise, energetic Burgundies - concentrated and textured, but driven by freshness, salinity and a remarkable sense of place.
