BENOIT MOREAU Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "La Cardeuse" 2021 (Red)

Wine Region: Burgundy - France

Grape: Chardonnay

Tasting notes: "The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Cardeuse Rouge wafts from the glass with notions of orange zest, red berries, rose petals, plums and spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a satiny attack, racy acids and melting tannins, it concludes with impressive persistence." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

About the winery:
Following the division of Domaine Bernard Moreau in November 2020, Benoit Moreau took his share of the vineyard to start his own estate. Before the separation, Bernard’s sons, Alex and Benoit, worked in the family estate, Domaine Bernard Moreau, along with their father until 1999. Later Alex and Benoit became the sole custodians of the family domain for the last 21 years, from 1999 to 2020. The first vintage from Benoit’s own vineyard is 2021. "Moreau is clearly an accomplished winemaker who is hitting the ground running. Overnight, a new star has been added to Chassagne's firmament, and importers will want to beat a path to Benoit's door." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
