  July 24, 2021 - Saturday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): Wow -- one of the best bottles of Moreau Chassagne I've had. This is outstanding white Burgundy. It is very Chassagne with its texture and richness, but also has plenty of the requisite acidity. Somewhat oily with that kind of lanolin-like note, this certainly shows some age. Nonetheless there are still some stone fruit flavours out for display.

  March 25, 2015 - It was a rather dubious anniversary for me, so I grabbed what I hoped would be a pretty good bottle. I have had a few of these, some great, a couple stinkers. The pale yellow was a welcomed sight, tipping its hand that this would be one of the good ones, perhaps the best of them all. A classic white Burgundy nose with lemon, vanilla, and just a hint of oak. Pure gold on the palate with seamless depth, wonderful flavors, and an enduring finish. Whoa. No wait, it's worth two: Whoa.

  January 21, 2015 - I do not really consider myself a worrier. I no longer worry about politics, nor the stock market. I try not to worry about my receding hairline or my increasing waist size. I do worry about my kids and when my wife will finally wake up and leave my sorry white butt. So I guess I am more of a "selective worrier". Above all else, I worry that I will wait a day (or more) too long to drink a wine. So when I saw that CT users felt this wine should have been consumed in 2012, I started to stress out--I had two bottles left. Well, this goes to show that stress is a wasted exercise. While not perhaps a "classic" white Burgundy (the citrus is a bit too prominent), it is really crazy good. The creaminess still breaks through the acidity to let you know its heritage.

  September 21, 2013 - Initially, this was far too cold, but as it warmed it exhibited an elegance that is rare in American Chardonnay--the degrees of subtlety seemed limitless. Outstanding. thedrunkencyclist.com

  June 10, 2013 - Retail $40. The comments and scores for this wine are all over the place on Cellar Tracker, ranging from 92 down to 75 (?!?). Now, I got this bottle from the PLCB and most of the comments seem to be from fellow Pennsylvanians, so there certainly might be some issues there (the PLCB is infamous for letting wine sit on a delivery truck for hours in 90 degree heat). Regardless, this might be the best Chardonnay that I have had all year. Clean and focused with a great nose and even better expression on the palate, this was fantastic. I am just giddy that I have another three bottles in the cellar. Outstanding 92-94 Points.
