2023 Alex Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet

Significant changes have taken place at the estate previously known as Bernard Moreau, as brothers Alex and Benoît have divided the domaine and now run separate operations. Starting with the 2021 vintage, the estate has now been renamed Domaine Alex Moreau in recognition of Alex's three decades of dedication to the family venture.

Other Reviews...
A completely different aromatic profile presents notes of petrol, rosemary oil and white-fleshed fruit scents. There is notably better density and volume to the attractively textured medium weight flavors that display fine length on the balanced finale. This does need to develop better depth but that should reasonably occur if given a chance. Worth checking out. Drink through 2029+.

The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc opens in the glass with aromas of pear, hazelnut and nutmeg, followed by a medium-bodied, ample and lively palate that's quite generous and fruit-driven this year, though I suspect it will tighten up with a second winter on the lees.

William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Village remains the largest of Alex Moreau's cuvées at 50% of total production, despite losing some land through the ending of fermage agreements It has a fresh bouquet with orange blossom and pithy pear scents, a little peachiness coming through with time. The palate is well balanced and harmonious with orange pith and light nectarine notes and quite a graceful finish. Drink 2026-2036.

Pale lemon, a steely white fruit on the nose though quite discreet. Some riper notes on the back of the palate but still this is mainly about a crystalline energy, more backward less flowing than usual but it is all there, with a useful tension to finish. Drink from 2027-2031.
