In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Pale golden rim with crisp citrus and white stone minerality framing a palate of white pepper and hazelnut skin. This is lean, savoury precision: firm and clean on the finish, with no buttery excess. At 12% ABV, the wine rewards focus and reveals why Puligny-Montrachet holds its reputation as the most austere and age-worthy of the three great white-wine communes.

The Winery — David Moret

A micro-négociant working from a small cellar in Beaune, Moret buys grapes from trusted top growers rather than tending his own vines—a model focused entirely on selection and craft. He established his label in 2000 after working in wine supply, and has built a following for sourcing exceptional parcels across the Côte de Beaune. The 2024 vintage demanded restraint: exceptional rain and low sunshine pushed vineyard teams to constant vigilance, yet surviving grapes achieved excellent ripeness and concentration. Moret's winemaking respects the site wholly—whole-bunch pressing, indigenous yeasts, 11 months in French oak (just 20% new), no fining or filtration. A return to classic, mineral-driven Burgundy after warmer, riper years.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Roasted chicken with herbs, butter-steamed fish, and aged Comté cheese all settle naturally alongside this wine. Cream-sauced or rich dishes that meet its mineral backbone without overwhelming it work beautifully. Pour cool with air to unlock its full character. Whether you're exploring white Burgundy or deepening your understanding of Chardonnay at its most mineral and structured, this is a masterclass in what limestone soil and restrained oak achieve. A wine made for France's greatest white-wine region, cellar-worthy and built to age with grace.
