2021 Alex Moreau Bourgogne Chardonnay
Significant changes have taken place at the estate previously known as Bernard Moreau, as brothers Alex and Benoît have divided the domaine and now run separate operations. Starting with the 2021 vintage, the estate has now been renamed Domaine Alex Moreau in recognition of Alex's three decades of dedication to the family venture.

Cool and airy aromas feature those of green apple, lemon-lime and a hint of petrol. The nicely rich and concentrated middleweight flavors possess a caressing, even seductive, mouthfeel while culminating in a clean, dry and sneaky long finale. This well-made effort could use better depth so a year or two of keeping should prove helpful in that regard.

Blended and being fined, would normally be bottled by now. No new wood but younger barrels than usual. As always, a strikingly classy yet undemonstrative nose. More weight up front, quite rich white fruit, very slightly biscuity. Solid more than sensual. Drink from 2024-2026.

Fine-boned and precise, the 2021 Bourgogne Chardonnay offers up aromas of pear, citrus oil, white flower and clear honey, followed by a medium-bodied, vibrant palate. This year, it will see longer maturation on the lees, which will likely deliver more texture.
