Maturing in used barrels, the 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc offers up aromas of pear, stone fruit, oatmeal and bread dough, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny palate that's bright and saline. It's suave and precise, true to Moreau's style.
The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Village comes from six parcels in the middle of the appellation. It has a delineated bouquet with orange pith and light apricot scents, an underlying mineralité coming through with time. The palate is fresh on the entry with gentle grip. There is a lovely texture here with a focused, almost minimalist finish. Very fine.
Layered aromas of petrol, rosemary oil, apple and a touch of soil nuances are trimmed in all but invisible wood. There is fine volume and richness to the punchy medium weight flavors that also conclude in a mildly rustic and youthfully austere finale that could use more depth. This is also quite good.
From 6 different spots in the heart if Chassagne. Pale colour, a fresh if undemonstrative nose, then again this splendid intensity on the palate, with youthful bitterness, from the retained lees, a fine white fruit with a stony mien, and fine length.
