From: Chassagne-Montrachet, Cote de Beaune, Cote d'Or, Burgundy, France
Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes: A beautiful wine, Moreau's 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes bursts with aromas of rose petals, spices and sweet berry fruit. Medium-bodied, lively and perfumed, it's supple and melting, with succulent acids and a saline finish. -The Wine Advocate
Bernard Moreau is a viticulture based in the village of Mancey, in the northernmost part of the Macon wine region. He has been in charge of his 8-hectare family domaine since 1982 when he took over from his father. The vineyards are planted with 40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, and 30% Gamay vines. The Bernard Moreau Bourgognes transcend their origins and are among the finest estate-bottled Burgundy values available. Moreau adheres to the principle of sustainable agriculture. He takes great care to ensure that his vines are in excellent health by constantly observing the vegetative cycle and the natural environment. His observations allow Moreau to take the minimal necessary measures and avoid synthetic chemical treatments. Moreau plants grass between rows and leave vine cuttings on the soil as mulch in order to control erosion and enrich the microbiological vitality of the soil. He ferments with only native yeasts.
