Bernard Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet Grandes Ruchottes 2015 is a medium-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Premier Cru climat of Grandes-Ruchottes in the Chassagne-Montrachet commune of the Côte de Beaune. This historic domaine was founded in 1809 by Auguste Moreau but it wasn`t until 1977 that its reputation was cemented under the leadership of Bernard Moreau (who, improbably, assumed that role at the tender age of 14). Bernard`s sons, Alex and Benoît, came onboard in the 1990s, and Alex is now in charge of winemaking and vineyard operations. Guided by organic farming in the vineyard and low-intervention principles in the cellar, Alex crafts Chardonnays of real distinction. Typically, the domaine`s wines are aged in French oak barrels (10%-50% new) for 12 to 20 months depending on the vineyard and vintage. "The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Grandes Ruchottes is one of the white wines of the vintage, wafting from the glass with notes of oatmeal, preserved citrus, crisp orchard fruit, peach and brioche. On the palate, the wine is wonderfully layered and glossily textural, its purity, energy and elegance as impressive as its immense concentration and power. This profound Grandes Ruchottes—which hails from old vines planted in 1939—boasts grand cru depth and dimension and should be very long-lived." William Kelley, 2018
