2024 Alex Moreau, Chassagne-Montrachet, 1er Cru Les Chenevottes

Domaine Alex Moreau is a legacy estate in Chassagne-Montrachet, with family roots in the village dating back to 1809 and a long-standing reputation for disciplined viticulture. This premier cru is made from Chardonnay vines planted between 1955 and 1960, which grow in the mineral-rich soils of the Les Chenevottes vineyard. The wine offers a precise profile, showing distinct notes of lemon, orchard fruit, and a persistent stony tension on the palate. Despite the challenging weather conditions of the 2024 vintage, the careful sorting and precise handling resulted in a wine defined by its clarity and structural integrity. It is balanced and vibrant, making it an excellent candidate for the cellar to allow its full potential to develop.
