Tasting notes
Moreau's 2017 Bourgogne Chardonnay confirms its fine showing last year, bursting from the glass with scents of citrus oil, clear honey and Anjou pear. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied and elegantly textural but chiseled, with fine concentration and a precise finish. This is a superb effort that punches well above its weight.

The 2017 Bourgogne Blanc has a crisp, undergrowth-scented bouquet that gives way to more citric notes with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, hints of peach, red cherries and good delineation. Yes, it lacks length, but you will not be too concerned at this price. Tasted at Flint Wines' Value Burgundy tasting.
Bottled. 100% barrel-fermented but all used oak (five to six years) Ripe citrus, even a touch of apricot on the nose. Succulent from the fresh acidity and generous in fruit. Ripe but tighter on the palate. Super-moreish. Who could not enjoy this? (JH)
