2020 Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet AC Cote de Beaune France

Press

"Alex Moreau’s 2020 Chassagne villages bottling is another excellent wine, showing beautiful soil inflection, zesty acids, impeccable balance and simply beautiful fruit tones. The nose delivers scents of apple, pear, chalky soil tones, a touch of beeswax, gentle notes of new oak and a beautiful floral topnote redolent of lemon blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full and crisp, with a fine core, excellent minerality and a long, zesty and impeccably balanced finish. Fine, fine juice here."

"Pale with a light green tint. Very backward on the nose with a coiled intensity on the palate. A lime note to finish. This is more reserved than when tasted from barrel but I am sure will make a fabulous bottle of Chassagne-Montrachet.  "

"The underlying fruit is presently masked by just enough reduction to blur the nuance. More interesting are the solidly concentrated and sappy flavors that possess even better volume before culminating in a mouth coating and unusually powerful finish that possess excellent depth and persistence for a wine at this level. Very fine quality for a villages-level Chassagne and well-worth checking out. *Outstanding!"
