 Tasted by Mark1npt on 4/17/2024 & rated 95 points: Light years ahead of the '14 Neillon from tonight.

Light yellow in the glass with white florals and citrus notes on the nose. Palate feels 5 years younger than the Neillon from just before it. Great acidity and wet stones on the palate. A very nice wine! (but a difficult price point for me). Thanks Ken, for this one! (442 views)
 Tasted by sdr on 3/23/2024 & rated 93 points: A bit of a chameleon it was pale and fragrant immediately then dumb then opened to reveal a dense and viscous Chevalier-Montrachet with style and complexity. Seems almost mature. Promising. (251 views)
 Tasted by Karl Kellar on 7/7/2022 & rated 97 points: At Les Climats restaurant in Paris. Pricey but worth every penny. I've never had a 2014 white burg that was less than excellent but this is the best yet -- in fact, one of the best I've ever had from any year. It reminded me of a 1978 Leflaive Chevalier we had at Taillevent almost 40 years ago. This wine had a beautiful nose, wonderful structure, packed with fruit, long long finish. About as good as a white burg gets. A beautiful wine, I wish I could drink this regularly. It will probably continue to improve in bottle, but it is so delicious now, it is very had to be patient. If I won the lottery I'd buy cases and this would be my house white. Rich enough to stand up to and complement beurre blanc, cream sauce, etc. (714 views)
 Tasted by KenK on 9/3/2021 & rated 97 points: Stunning for its purity and seamless texture and deep mineral driven flavors, while remaining crisp and bright. This was packed with intensity and density while remaining balanced. Offering up tons of baked apple fruity flavors, delicate spice and lots of cool slate mineral. Bravo! No rush to drink this as it still comes across youth, but so good even now its hard to resist. (1145 views)
 Tasted by drjb on 4/10/2021 & rated 96 points: At Winston, Noosa. Under cork with wax seal. This wine was a place green gold colour and had a striking nose of green apple, pear and white stone fruit with touches of nutmeg, crushed limestone and oyster shells. The palate was quite rich and round yet balanced by a background of stony minerality and matiere that provide real drive and authority on the finish. The spicy richness leans more to Le Montrachet but taken on its own that's not a bad thing ! (1034 views)
 Tasted by tinybubbles on 9/24/2019 & rated 93 points: Good balance and tension to the palate. Carrying less wood than the Batard. 93-94 (1550 views)
 Tasted by Burgnick on 12/20/2018 & rated 94 points: Slow oxed for 5 hours before serving. Amazing acidity. Stone fruit, citrus, vanilla toast and chalk on the nose. Palate had beautiful layers with a lemon squeeze on the finish. Very nice. Should age gracefully if theres no premox. Definitely Moreau’s best vintage. (1820 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 6/30/2018 & rated 94 points: Zachys BYO Montrachet & Musigny Lunch in Burgundy (1243 Bourgogne Society - Beaune): Small glass, brief note. Slightly sweet, very powerful. Apple and baked apple with so much depth. Just a babe. (2060 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 6/28/2016: Tuesday Cellar Visits in Burgundy - Remoissenet, Bernard Moreau, Pousse d'Or, Comte Liger-Belair (Cote d'Or): Tasting at the domaine. Spice, flowers, mint, ripe apple and quince aromas and comparable flavors. Superbly dense and fresh. 95-96 point potential. (2883 views)
 Tasted by Burgnick on 1/20/2016 & rated 94 points: Tasted from the Pearl of Burgundy Event. This is truly exceptional. The nose had beautiful minerals, nut, and citrus. The palate had amazing minerals, stone fruit and nut fruit expressed in very good depth with density and power. This will be absolutely amazing if you give it 10 years. (1961 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 7/3/2015: Domaine Bernard Moreau Cellar Visit and Tasting (Chassagne-Montrachet): Barrel tasting at the domaine. Wow. Floral, spice and lots of orchard fruit. As ripe and concentrated as the Batard, but textures simultaneously dancing and enticing your sense. Amazing length. 97-98 point potential. (2017 views)

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
