2024 Alex Moreau to Add to Your Shopping List!
"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!
Lastly, Moreau has joined many of his counterparts to bottling his whites under Diam cork to ensure graceful aging in the cellar.
2024 Alex Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie
BH90-93 (Outstanding)
"Smoky aromas of citrus and white orchard fruit are complemented by hints of citrus and wood. The succulent and relatively generous middle weight flavors retain good detail despite the opulence of the mid-palate, all wrapped in a lightly austere and sneaky long finale. This is sufficiently firm to reward up to a decade of keeping, which is just as well as more depth is needed."
-Allen Meadows
2024 Alex Moreau Meursault 1er Cru Porusot Dessus
JM91-94
"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
JM93-95, BH91-94 (Sweet Spot Outstanding)
"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
2024 Alex Moreau Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
BH92-95, JM93-95
"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."
