Alex Moreau's Exquisite 2024 Whites

Alex Moreau, Chassagne-Montrachet

If you have not had the opportunity to taste the wines of Alex Moreau (formerly named Bernard Moreau after his father) you are missing out on a first-rate Domaine. These wines continue to fly off the grid and we are proudly sounding the horn as a producer to seriously consider. If you like the undeniable quality of the wines of Chez Roulot and Thierry Pillot (Paul Pillot), there is no doubt you will love these wines.

We recently tasted the 24's at the Domaine and have been tasting Alex's wines for many years. The lineup is already impressive with an ALL-STAR cast of the top sites in Chassagne. The wines continue to climb upwards in quality from the entry level Bourgogne (vines outside of Chassagne village) all the way up the Grand Crus. The wines have real density and depth with great bones (structure). Expressive site-specific terroir creeps up in layers behind the fleshy flavors, all well-balanced with an impressive spine of acidity that keeps the wines dancing elegantly across the palate and into the seriously long and regal finish. Impressive!

Vinification takes place with long pressing for whites, followed by vinification in barrel (predominantly from Francois Freres) with indigenous yeasts. Elevage lasting a year in wood, followed by six months on the lees in tank before bottling under natural cork. The wines age exceptionally well.

Without further ado, the 2024s...

2024 Alex Moreau Bourgogne Chardonnay

2024 Alex Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet
JM 91-93
"A fuller yellow colour, with good fruit weight on the nose. Very gracious fruit on the palate, some character here, seems like ideal ripeness level, a little yellow plum. Drink from 2029-2032." -Jasper Morris

2024 Alex Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie
JM 91-93, VN 92-94
"The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet La Maltroye 1er Cru has a nuanced, stylish bouquet with light crushed stone scents intermixed with honeysuckle and brioche. The palate is fresh and taut, with fine weight and plenty of energy, segueing into a slightly more malic finish that lends it a Puligny-like allure. Excellent." -Neal Martin

2024 Alex Moreau Meursault 1er Cru Porusot Dessus
JM 91-94
"One barrel only, alas. Pale lemon colour, the oak is fairly prominent. Cheerful fresh mixed citrus notes beneath, with penetrating white fruit, which will easily eat its oak. Note the particularly long finish. Drink from 2029-2034." -Jasper Morris

2024 Alex Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets
JM 93-95, VN 92-94
"Mid lemon yellow. A very elegant perfumed bouquet with stony underlay. The volume builds on the palate, one of those wines with some tendrils of additional ripeness, yet saline at the finish. Complex and maybe compelling. Drink from 2030-2035." -Jasper Morris

2024 Alex Moreau Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
JM 93-95 
"Full mid lemon yellow. Impressive fruit weight to the nose, not straight on the stones. They appear as expected on the palate, with considerable intensity, a light citrus wash, otherwise a pure limestone backbone, and excellent length. Drink from 2030-2036." -Jasper Morris
