2024 Alex Moreau, Chassagne-Montrachet, 1er Cru La Maltroie

Domaine Alex Moreau operates from the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet, where the family has maintained their cellar and farming lineage since 1809. This wine is made from Chardonnay vines situated in the stony, limestone-rich soils of the La Maltroie premier cru site. In the glass, it presents a bright core of orchard fruit, fresh mint, and clear honey, held together by a fleshy, medium-to-full-bodied texture. The 2024 vintage provided the necessary sunshine to balance this fruit with precise acidity, ensuring the wine retains a clean, stony drive. Given its structural elegance and current vibrancy, this bottle is prepared for enjoyment now but will continue to develop with time in the cellar.
