In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Pale gold deepening toward amber, this wine moves between orchard fruit (white peach, lemon) and mineral suggestion (flint) with quiet sophistication. The palate carries classical white Burgundy tension—bright acidity pushing against rounded, honeyed ripeness, with nutty and oatmeal undertones that speak of time in French oak. Whole-bunch pressed, fermented with wild yeasts, aged fifteen months in barrels, then bottled unfiltered and unfined, this wine earns its place through presence and poise rather than announcement.

The Winery — David Moret

A micro-négociant based in Beaune, Moret built his house on principle rather than patrimony. After studying oenology and spending years selling winemaking supplies, he founded his eponymous label in 2000, sourcing small parcels from top growers across Burgundy's finest sites. The 2024 vintage proved challenging—wet weather and a dim growing season forced constant vigilance—yet the result was grapes of genuine concentration and balance from Rully's clay-limestone slopes, where stone-laden soils rival the Côte de Beaune itself. At 12.5% abv, the wine carries its alcohol with remarkable refinement.

Whether you're building a collection of France's finest whites or discovering what Chardonnay can do when grown on limestone and left to speak for itself, this vintage deserves your attention. Its classical balance and unshowy quality make it perfect for date night or as a thoughtful gift.
