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 tension, an unmistakable signature from one of Burgundy’s most compelling new voices.

En Remilly sits on the steep, stony slope that bridges Chassagne and Saint-Aubin, just adjacent to Chevalier-Montrachet. With almost no topsoil above its fractured Bathonian limestone, it’s one of the most mineral-driven sites in the village producing wines that are taut, lifted, and full of inner brightness. Benoît’s 2023 channels that energy with precision. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in used oak, it shows aromas of white flowers, pear skin, and orange oil, edged with a touch of youthful reduction. The palate is sleek and electric, layering racy citrus fruit over a deep, leesy core.
