Bernard Moreau

This small family-run domaine continues to be one of the most exciting addresses in the Cote de Beaune. From top to bottom, this is an impressive range. ANTONIO GALLONI

In recent years this domaine has shot to the very top of the tree for its whites. Today this 14ha domaine is run by brothers Alex and Benoit with Benoit in charge of the vineyards and Alex heading up the winery team. Here the elevage is quite simple with the wines seeing only minimal lees stirring and, in general, no more than 30% new wood for the 1ers and GCs. His most prestigious holdings are in Chevalier and Batard however his 1er Les Grandes Ruchottes usually performs at or near GC level. ROSCOE

Readers will already be aware that I revere Alex Moreau as one of the best winemakers in Chassagne-Montrachet, and it is pleasing to see that his reputation is increasing each year—from the United States to London to Hong Kong. This was a superb set of wines from Alex. NEAL MARTIN
