Omschrijving
Het grote nieuws in Chassagne-Montrachet is de scheiding van Domaine Bernard Moreau tussen broers Alex en Benoit. Benoit Moreau kiest ervoor om sinds november 2020 zijn deel van de wijngaarden over te nemen en met dichte vrienden zijn eigen label op te starten. In 2021 kunnen lezers echter, ondanks de verwoestingen van de vorst, een Chassagne-Montrachet lieu-dit verwachten die Les Charrières en Premiers Cru's Chenevottes, Maltroie, Fairendes, Cardeuse (in wit en rood), Grandes Ruchottes en En Remilly bottelt.
De landbouw is biodynamisch, met certificering in de maak, waarbij Moreau zich ertoe verbindt om al zijn premiers met de hand of met behulp van kleine rupsenchénillards te bewerken. Op sommige percelen experimenteert hij met "tressage" in plaats van het afdekken van de luifels van de wijnstokken en als hij dat doet, doet hij dat met de hand.
Wat betreft het maken van wijn, hij perst de schillen voordat ze worden geperst als ze volledig rijp zijn, en hij werkt met inheemse gisten en bacteriën, met élevages in 228-liter vaten die 18 maanden meegaan, gevolgd door botteling onder hoogwaardige natuurlijke kurk en wax.
Wijncritics zoals Kelley en Martin zijn lovend over de nieuwe portfolio van Benoit Moreau. Over de Chassagne-Montrachet Village wordt bijvoorbeeld geschreven: "Is this really a Premier Cru dressed up in a Village Cru label? If you are hesitant to buy this wine, don't be". Als dat niet genoeg zegt over de klasse van deze wijnmaker...

The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc delivers aromas of honeyed orchard fruit, orange oil, pear, fresh hazelnuts and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, it's bright and elegantly chalky, with lively acids and a nicely defined finish.
The big news in Chassagne-Montrachet is the division of Domaine Bernard Moreau, with brother Benoit setting out on his own, taking over his share of the vineyards in November 2020. In 2020, to prepare for the transition, Benoit acquired some must from close friends whose methods are in sympathy with his own, and those (very successful) first releases are reviewed here. However, in 2021, despite the ravages of the frost, readers can expect a Chassagne-Montrachet lieu-dit bottling Les Charrières and premiers crus Chenevottes, Maltroie, Fairendes, Cardeuse (in white and red), Grandes Ruchottes and En Remilly—a portfolio, in other words to conjure with! Farming is biodynamic, with certification underway, with Moreau committed to working all his premiers by hand or with the aid of small caterpillar-tracked chénillards. In some parcels, he's experimenting with "tressage" instead of hedging the vines' canopies; and when he does hedge, it's done by hand. Green cover crops will help build up organic matter in the soils and protect them from summer heat. In terms of winemaking, he crushes before pressing when the skins are fully ripe, and he works using indigenous yeasts and bacteria, with élevages in 228-liter barrels lasting 18 months, followed by bottling under high-quality natural cork and finishing wax. In style, the results are very similar to those that followers of Domaine Bernard Moreau will be familiar with; and Moreau is clearly an accomplished winemaker who is hitting the ground running. Overnight, a new star has been added to Chassagne's firmament, and importers will want to beat a path to Benoit's door.

From: Now, For My Latest Trick: Burgundy 2022 (Jan 2024)
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Village seems to have gained richness in recent months. It feels a little subdued at first, yet it doesn't take more than 20 minutes to reveal enticing orange zest and apricot scents, gaining delineation with time. The palate has broadened as well. Not amazingly complex, after all, it is not a Premier Cru, yet it has a clinical finish and sapidity that drags you back for another sip. You could drink this now, though it will give another decade of drinking pleasure. (November 2023)
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Village has a wonderful bouquet with orange blossom and light citrus scents, fine mineralité coming through with aeration. The palate is well-balanced with impressive weight, quite steely on the finish with just the right amount of bitter edge to keep you returning. Is this really a Premier Cru dressed up in a Village Cru label? If you are hesitant to buy this wine, don't be. (March 2022)
- By Neal Martin on November 2023 and March 2022
As I have stated several times in recent reports, Chassagne is a hotbed of talent at the moment. After splitting with his brother Alex at Domaine Bernard Moreau & Fils, Benoît Moreau hit the ground running with his 2020s that gave notice of a winemaker with lofty ambitions and the talent to fulfill them. He has “the knack”. This was the third vintage I have tasted at his new facility on the outskirts of Chassagne, where diggers were excavating adjacent land that will house Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard’s new winery. As he did last year, Moreau provided a makeshift “desk” for my laptop comprising a small tower of cases, which makes it the most expensive desk on my travels, given current secondary market prices. Moreau seems to be taking the adulation in his stride. “In 2022, there was no stress in the vines. We picked on August 24 and finished on September 1. We just pressed and racked the day after directly into barrels for all the cuvées. The wines will be bottled in March or April. Alcohol is between 12.6% to 13.2%.” I arrived full of expectation and did not depart disappointed. These wines show breathtaking precision and vitality, each articulating their respective terroirs in accomplished style. His La Grande Ruchotte is as good a Chassagne-Montrachet as you will find in 2022, with Maltroie
