2021 Alex Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Premier Cru
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.

There's only one 350-liter barrel of the 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot, but the resulting wine is lovely, revealing aromas of pear, orange oil, nutmeg and clove, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate. Unfortunately, I imagine securing even a bottle or two will be a considerable challenge.

1x 350 litre barrel, unracked, from Les Fairendes. The oak is quite marked at the moment but there is easily enough fruit to cover it. A rumbustious approach with a gorgeous volume of fruit plus of course the oak backing. That will be cleaned up before bottling and this will be excellent. Drink from 2026-2033.
