Reviews Burghound "Here too there is subtle but perceptible wood framing the cool, airy and exceptionally pretty nose of acacia blossom, citrus essence, spice and a hint of jasmine tea. Even though the medium weight flavors are not as dense as those of the Ruchottes, they still display focused power and a lovely sense of vibrancy that also infuses the beautifully delineated and tautly muscular finish that goes on and on. This is also very much constituted to age over the medium to longer-term, which should help to develop more depth. (AM)" 97 points John Gilman "...one of the greatest white wines of the vintage. The bouquet is deep, youthfully complex and precise, soaring from the glass in a mix of apple, pear, orange zest, chalky minerality, fruit blossoms and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, racy and rock solid at the core, with great mineral undertow, snappy acids, precise focus and a long, perfectly balanced and aristocratic finish... (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.
