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)
"The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Fairendes is suave and elegant, offering up aromas of pear, white flowers, pastry cream and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy, with a rich, fleshy core of vibrant fruit, it's underpinned by lively acids, concluding with a saline finish.."
