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:
" The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Cardeuse Rouge reveals aromas of dark berries and cherries, along with a rustic touch of smoked meats. Medium-bodied, taut and lively, with chalky tannins, it will likely require a bit of patience."
