BENOÎT MOREAU

Benoit Moreau 2 copy.jpg 2.93 MB


Under the charge of brothers Benoît and Alex Moreau, Domaine Bernard Moreau rose to become one of Chassagne-Montrachet’s most respected addresses. From 2020 the brothers have decided to divide the holdings and go it alone and, after 22 vintages, Benoît is immediately turning heads with a sensational maiden vintage under his own name.
 
Benoît farms 4ha in Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin, including distinguished 1er Cru sites inherited from his father, as well as new climats created by dividing existing vineyards. Utilising a biodynamic farming approach and tressage–the laborious and highly skilled practice of braiding the vine canopy –Benoît excels as a terroir-focused Chardonnay grower.
 
In his brand-new cellar in Chassagne, Benoît’s wines undergo slow pressing and fermentation using indigenous yeasts, before spending 18 months in barrel. The seductive aromatics and supple textures are underscored by incredible energy and mineral tension. Already delicious in youth, the consummate balance of the wines suggests they all have considerable ageing potential.
