In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Limestone-rich slopes give this wine mineral poise and textural weight. Brioche richness and citrus snap sit atop a current of refreshing acidity that keeps the palate alive from first sip to finish. Balanced and generous yet structured enough to age gracefully for several years, this Chardonnay is drinking beautifully now.

The Winery — David Moret

A micro-négociant working from his small cellar in Beaune, David Moret sources grapes from top growers rather than farming his own vines—a model allowing him to focus entirely on selection and winemaking. He established his label in 2000 after a career in oenology and winemaking supply. The 2023 vintage blessed Burgundy with plentiful yields and excellent maturity; after a tricky July hail, warm September ripening concentrated the fruit beautifully. In the cellar, minimal new oak and a full malolactic fermentation create brioche texture without heaviness. The wine spent six months resting post-bottling and is settled and ready to drink.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Serve this with roasted chicken, butter-poached white fish, or creamed shellfish; it's equally at home with soft cheeses like Brie. The structured acidity makes it a natural match for mushroom and truffle dishes, whilst oily fish find balance in its mineral grip. This is the kind of wine that rewards both immediate pleasure and a bit of cellaring—ideal for gifting to serious collectors or laying down for a special occasion. If you're exploring fine white Burgundy, this sits alongside the rest of our Chassagne-Montrachet selection as a textbook example of the grape's potential on Europe's greatest terroirs.
