About Bernard Moreau
Domaine Bernard Moreau a Chassagne-Montrachet estate producing wonderfully opulent Rouge and Blancs. The domaine dates from 1809 when Auguste Moreau constructed a cellar in the region and began to cultivate grapes in the appellation. The holdings were increased in the 1930s by descendent Marcel Moreau. The current owner is Bernard Moreau, who took over in the early 1960s at the age of just 14! Today, it is Bernard’s sons Alex and Benoît who lead the business.
Vineyard and Winemaking
Domaine Bernard Moreau comprises 9 ha of vineyards with an additional 5ha (12 acres) famed under contract. Most of this is in Chassagne-Montrachet, although there are also plots in Saint-Aubin and Volnay. The vines are old, yields are kept low and annual production only amounts to around 8,000 cases.

Vinous (87-89)The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Village has been in barrel for a year and transferred in tank in October. This has quite intense black cherry and cassis fruit on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins, dark berry fruit laced with Earl Grey, quite weighty on the finish. This deserves a couple of years in bottle. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)Assembled and fined. Alexandre will be able to bottle this without filtering and is very happy with the fining. Clear pale lemon and lime. Beautifully fine bouquet, yet again a masterful example. The blend between the fruit and the thread of mineral acidity is just exactly right and there is no feeling of four square Chassagne. The flesh emerges a little more forcefully at the finish which is exceptionally persistent. Year in, year out, this si just about the best example of village Chassagne-Montrachet available. Tasted: December 2021 |
