2023 Chassagne-Montrachet, Alex Moreau
Strictly limited to 3 magnums per customer
This is always the wine Alex is most proud of in his cellar, which is telling praise. It was also one of our standouts in 2023. This is because it offers the complexity and depth on par with some other producers’ Premiers Crus. It represents the lion’s share of his cellar, and is drawn from many sites across the village, half of which are tucked up in the pocket of vineyards that hug the Premiers Crus. The other half comes from the village’s border with Puligny-Montrachet. The texture of these wines is exceptional, nowhere better displayed than in this Chassagne-Montrachet. They have tension and drive, without the phenolic extraction of some more worked wines. Effortlessly pure and persistent.
