2010 CHASSAGNE MONTRACHET

INTRODUCTION

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.

VINEYARD PROFILE

Blended together from several different plots, one third from Les Masures which is adjaent to Morgeots and the remainder from the border of Puligny. This is a powerful white Chassagne which benefits from one to two years in the bottle.
