Ripe Orchard Fruit, White Flowers, Toasted Hazelnuts, and Classic Chassagne Depth

The 2023 David Moret Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes is a generous, structured Chardonnay crafted from venerable old vines. It displays expressive aromas of ripe yellow apples, juicy white peach, hawthorn blossoms, and subtle toasted brioche. Medium-to-full-bodied and textural, it combines rich stone fruit with vibrant limestone acidity and a distinct mineral tension, finishing long, savory, and beautifully balanced.

Critical Recognition

James Suckling 93 pts
  • 93 Points - James Suckling: Aromas of oak toast, minerals, lemon zest and spices. Flavorful but restrained, with very good intensity on a medium- to full-bodied palate. Long, with fine toast and mineral flavors. Drink now or hold.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay crafted exclusively from selected old-vine parcels (averaging 50+ years of age) located in premier lieu-dits of Chassagne-Montrachet.
  • Planted on classic Jurassic limestone and clay-marl soils that impart generous structural breadth, rich stone fruit depth, and firm mineral drive.
  • Produced by David Moret, the renowned Beaune-based boutique micro-négociant celebrated for his artisanal parcel selection and masterly elevage of Côte de Beaune whites.
  • Aged for approximately 12 months in French oak barrels (around 20–25% new oak) followed by settling in stainless steel to harmonize oak polish with primary orchard fruit vitality.
  • From the expressive, generous 2023 Burgundy harvest; offers immediate drinking pleasure alongside the concentration to age gracefully through 2031+.

Tasting Notes

Bright, pale gold with crystalline greenish glints, it opens with pure aromas of ripe yellow apples, juicy white peach, and lemon zest, seamlessly interwoven with hawthorn blossoms, wet limestone, and a delicate touch of toasted hazelnut. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied, textural, and structured, delivering concentrated stone fruit across an energetic spine of limestone acidity, concluding on a clean, lingering, and mouth-watering saline mineral finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve cellar-cool at 11–13°C in standard white Burgundy or universal stemware.
  • Decanting: Best enjoyed with 15 to 20 minutes of gentle aeration in the glass to allow its old-vine concentration and floral minerality to unfurl. Optimal drinking window now through 2031+.
