| The winery’s roots go back to 1809 when Auguste Moreau built a cellar across from the Champs Gain vineyard and farmed his few hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot along the golden slope. The 1930s saw an expansion of the family’s vineyards under the guidance of Marcel Moreau. Roughly 80% of the domaine’s current vineyard holdings were acquired by Marcel. At age 14, Bernard Moreau took over the vineyards and cellar in the early 1960’s. In 1977 the reputation of this great estate was fully established under the leadership of Bernard and Françoise Moreau and the winery was named Domaine Bernard Moreau.This wine is made from grapes from all the sectors of Maltroie; Ez Crets, Les Places and Maltroie.The white grapes are lightly crushed before pressing. The crushed grapes are left to settle over night and then fermented in wood. The wines are racked out of barrel just before harvest, premier crus are kept in tank until bottling the following March. |
