Marcel Moreau originally developed this domaine in the 1960s. His son Bernard Moreau took over in 1982, pioneering estate bottling and the separation of the various premier crus into individual cuvees. However, it was when Bernard’s sons Alex and Benoit arrived in the early 2000s that Domaine Bernard Moreau really began to acquire a serious following. Alex handled the winery, Benoit managed the vineyards, and Bernard Moreau became known for some stunning wines in a very contemporary white Burgundian idiom. bright, tense, mineral, and full of energy.
Things took a turn in 2021, when Benoit chose to leave, taking his share of the vineyards. Alex remained at the family domaine, now formally renamed Alex Moreau. Judging by the quality of the wines Alex has made since then, it is a change he has assimilated well. (NT 09/01/23)
