Alex Moreau's Exceptional 2024s

"I am in full agreement with Moreau that his 2024 whites are indeed first-rate and there are a number of wines that should be on your shopping lists." -Allen Meadows

A first-rate domaine in Chassagne, the wines of Alex Moreau have only grown in popularity, especially since his production shrank with the subdivision of the original family domaine (Bernard Moreau) and the termination of a sharecropping agreement. Despite this, the quality of Moreau's wines haven't skipped a beat, especially in regards to his 2024s which both he and Meadows have called outstanding!

The whites receive long pressing cycles, followed by vinification in barrel (predominantly François Frères) with native yeasts, with élevage lasting a year in wood, followed by 6 months in tank before bottling under Diam cork.

2024 Alex Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie
• 94-95JS, 92-94VN, 91-93JM, 90-93(Outstanding)BH, 5 bottles available
"Chalk, minerals and hints of wasabi and brioche on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with bright acidity and chalky flavors. Tense, salty and long." -James Suckling

"The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet La Maltroye ler 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
• 91-94JM
"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." -Jasper Morris

2024 Alex Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets
• 93-95JM, 92-94VN, 91-94(Outstanding)BH,  2 bottles available
"Ripe and exuberantly fresh aromas are comprised mostly by lemon confit, white peach and floral wisps that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. The generously proportioned middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality that adds lift to the focused and balanced finale where the wood resurfaces. This could also use a bit more depth and while a bit woody today, it possesses excellent development potential. Recommended." -Allen Meadows

"The 2024 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets ler Cru offers crushed stone and slate-like scents on the nose, with just a touch of menthol in the background. The palate is well balanced, with a keen thread of acidity, very detailed, and a subtle reduction towards the finish that conveys a sense of energy. Excellent." -Neal Martin

2024 Alex Moreau Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
• 96-97JS, 93-95JM, BH92-95BH
"Concentrated, with freshness, acidity and saltiness. The nose is minerally and complex, with seashells, chalk and salted lemons. Great tension creates fullness, with mouthwatering salinity and acidity. Full of flavor." -James Suckling

"Once again there is a smoky component to the intensely floral aromas of mineral reduction, Granny Smith apple and lemon zest. The super-sleek and impressively proportioned flavors possess solid size and weight along with excellent power and minerality on the youthfully austere, moderately tannic and slightly rustic finale. Like several wines in the range, this is old school in style with the aging potential to match." -Allen Meadows
