Tasting notes
Moreau produced a mere 350 liters of the 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Grandes Ruchottes, but its quality is some compensation for the tiny quantity. Unwinding in the glass with notes of pear, fresh apricot, citrus zest, nutmeg, fresh mint and warm bread, it's medium to full-bodied, chiseled and multidimensional, with searing levels of concentration, racy acids, chalky structuring dry extract and a long, saline finish.

Planted in 1939, the oldest vines of the domaine. Shallow topsoil, calcareous. One 350-litre barrel. Tank sample. Really interesting and subtle but intriguing on the nose. Saline quality with minerality. Very smart stuff. Could be a smart buy for those in search of a grand cru at a premier cru price. (JR)
