Reviews 89-91 points Vinous "The 2020 Volnay Les Santenots 1er Cru is a mixture of black cherry and blueberry fruit on the nose, gradually unfurling to reveal some lovely wilted rose petal scents. The palate is medium-bodied with crispy tannins on the entry, quite sapid in the mouth but it tightens towards the finish. (NM)" 93 points John Gilman "The bouquet wafts from the glass in a classy mix of black cherries, black plums, pigeon, dark soil tones, bitter chocolate, woodsmoke, a touch of currant leaf and a gentle foundation of new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and focused, with a sappy core of fruit, lovely soil inflection and grip, ripe, seamless tannins and a long, complex and beautifully balanced finish. Fine juice. (JG)"

About Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils (Alex Moreau)
Anchored by a legacy of over two centuries, Domaine Bernard Moreau (now called Domaine Alex Moreau), has grown steadily into a producer of extraordinary wines under the stewardship of the fourth-generation, Alex Moreau. For more than two decades, Alex's vineyard operations and winemaking have been characterized by an unwavering commitment to quality, integrity, and the authentic expression of Burgundy's terroir. Alexandre's philosophy of early harvesting to retain acidity and the use of neutral oak barrels for aging gives his wines a distinctive minerally, acid-driven style.
Domaine Bernard Moreau takes pride in the meticulous care of their vineyards and the handpicking of grapes, resulting in wines that reflect their origin and dedication to craftsmanship. Their Chardonnays, revered for complex and layered flavors, evoke notes of citrus, green apple, underlined by a solid core of minerality. The Pinot Noirs, carrying hints of black cherry, plum, and a dash of spice, captivate with a rich and textural mouthfeel, creating a genuine representation of the Burgundian terroirs.
The Domaine's painstaking attention to detail sets them apart from other producers. It's a fact noted by William Kelley of The Wine Advocate, who commended the Domaine as "one of the most exciting addresses in the Côte d’Or." Domaine Bernard Moreau's commitment to terroir expression, traditional winemaking, and rigorous vineyard maintenance ensures that whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or a casual drinker, you'll find an unforgettable experience in each bottle.
