Producer Benoît Moreau
Region, Country Chassagne-Montrachet, France
Bottle Size 750ml
Case Size 6
Product Code 24417-750

The Chassagne comprises six parcels Benoît inherited from Domaine Bernard Moreau. The most northerly of these sites is En Journoblot, which borders Criots-Bâtard. The core of the bottling comes from three more centrally located vineyards: Voillenot Dessus and Les Chambres under the 1er Cru Maltroie, and Les Masures under the 1er Cru Champ Gains. The most southerly parcel is La Platière, which sits below the Abbaye de Morgeot climat. Altogether, these plots cover a surface of 1.4 hectares, making this Benoît’s most important wine. The sum of these parts is an intensely focused Burgundy that again bats well above its level. It’s pithy and citrusy with lovely creamy textural elements but no sign of a warmer year. Super. Barely 10% of this cuvée was raised in new oak.

Reviews

“Also a shy nose but higher toned and properly inviting. Larger scale in the mouth – with energy and obvious concentration but the concentration is balanced with plenty of energy– shoulders like 2020 with an easier and delicious finish.”
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Village comes from six parcels in the middle of the appellation. It has a delineated bouquet with orange pith and light apricot scents, an underlying mineralité coming through with time. The palate is fresh on the entry with gentle grip. There is a lovely texture here with a focused, almost minimalist finish. Very fine.”
91-93 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“From 6 different spots in the heart of Chassagne. Pale colour, a fresh if undemonstrative nose, then again this splendid intensity on the palate, with youthful bitterness, from the retained lees, a fine white fruit with a stony mien, and fine length. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted: November 2023.”
