Notes from Becky Wasserman & Co.:

"Since 1990, Benoit Moreau worked with his father and brother at the family domaine in Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Bernard Moreau & Fils. After several years as the vineyard manager, he decided to create his own domaine, combining his share of the family vineyards with some new acquisitions in the Beaujolais."

William Kelley (Wine Advocate) 

"Another highlight of the Morey portfolio is the 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Fairendes, a lovely wine evocative of crisp Anjou pear, white flowers, citrus zest, fresh mint and buttery pastry. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's layered and enveloping, with a deep core of pure fruit girdled by racy acids, concluding with a long, mouthwatering finish. Produced from a small 0.10-hectare parcel, this tiny cuvée is one of the most elegant wines in the range."
