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 Cardeuse Blanc is a beauty, unfurling in the glass with notes of yellow orchard fruit, citrus blossom, white flowers and buttered popcorn. Medium to full-bodied, dense and layered, with a textural attack and a deep but weightless mid-palate, it concludes with a long, racy finish."
