Reviews Burghound "A softly floral and earthy nose of both red and dark berries introduces denser and more voluminous medium-bodied flavors that flash focused power on the balanced if firmer finish that makes clear that in contrast to the Chassagne villages, this will need a few years to unwind. (AM)" 93 points John Gilman "The la Cardeuse bottling chez Moreau is always quite black fruity in profile and this is again the case in the lovely 2021 vintage. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a youthful mix of cassis, dark berries, gamebird, espresso, woodsmoke, dark soil tones, a nice touch of whole clusters and just a dollop of new oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and sports excellent mid-palate depth, with ripe, buried tannins, fine focus and grip, suave tannins and a long, soil-driven and quite elegant finish. This is going to be an excellent vintage for this fine bottling. (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.
