Irresistible Selection from Alex Moreau
The wines from Alex Moreau (formerly Bernard Moreau) have been among my favorites since we first started working with them in 2017. The demand has certainly crept up and with the recent transition to Alex and Benoit (further explained below), the supply has certainly dwindled making these delicious bottles even harder to come across.
Fortunately we secured a nice selection with solid pricing for you to check out below! Stylistically they are touch more forward than those of Paul Pillot, with a little more weight and density like Lamy Caillat.
"After the division of Domaine Bernard Moreau between brothers Benoit and Alex, Alex was left with only 10.5 hectares of vines. This year, that shrinks to a mere 5.5 hectares after the loss of a five-hectare fermage. Readers will imagine how disruptive that must be to a domaine's distribution when clients find their habitual allocations reduced not by one-half but to one-quarter of what they used to be. So to mark a clean break, Alex has rebranded with his own label, effective from the 2021 vintage. As was the case under the Bernard Moreau label, he's also complementing his domaine holdings with a little negociant activity. Of course, if the size of the estate has changed, the approach has not—long pressing for white, followed by vinification in barrel (predominantly from Francois Freres) with indigenous yeasts, with elevage lasting a year in wood, followed by six months on the lees in tank before bottling under natural cork." - Wine Advocate, Jan 2024
