After 22 vintages quietly shaping the wines at his family’s Domaine Bernard Moreau, Benoît Moreau stepped into the spotlight in 2020 with a domaine of his own. He brought with him 4.2 hectares of prized vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin. These are parcels he had farmed for decades, now tended biodynamically and entirely by hand, horse, or small tractor. A patient, intuitive grower, Benoît favors tressage over hedging, native yeasts over control, and time over intervention. His whites are pressed gently and raised over two winters with little new oak. His reds are perfumed, silken, and shaped by a light touch. The wines hum with clarity and quiet energy, an unmistakable signature from one of Burgundy’s most compelling new voices.

Moreau’s 2023 Bourgogne Chardonnay is sourced from three parcels within the storied Morgeot section of Chassagne-Montrachet, a detail that sets this wine apart from most regional-level bottlings. Farmed biodynamically and fermented with native yeasts, the wine was gently pressed (sometimes crushed, depending on ripeness) and aged in neutral oak for 16 months. No flash, no excess. Just texture, resonance, and pure orchard fruit unfolding in a supple, saline frame. It is a pitch-perfect introduction to Moreau’s thoughtful, terroir-driven style and a wine that far outpaces its humble designation.
