Domaine Bernard Moreau 2010/11 Bourgogne Blanc

Grape: 100% Chardonnay.
Region: France> Burgundy.
Notes: Alexandre and Benoit Moreau run the historic estate in the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet. Serious thought goes into their handcrafted wines from when exactly to harvest to hand-sorting for the best clusters. The Moreau family is known for creating a Chardonnat with freshness and precision, always keeping the acidity on the high side to allow for better food pairing and ageing potential. Slight pear-quince fruit with racy acidity give it lean impressions upfront that opens into a rounds mid-palate with expressions of vanilla, buttercream, and soft oak.
