Reviewed January 2023The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Village comes from eight different parcels and was racked just before harvest. Wow. This has a very seductive and aromatic bouquet with white peach, Golden Delicious, hints of marzipan and chamomile. The palate is well defined with a waxy-textured opening, lively and overtly spicy with a generous dose of lemongrass that electrifies the finish. Highly recommended. (NM)

Pale lemon yellow, with a classy if reticent nose, plenty of promise. The fruit tightens up quickly on the palate though there is also an exotic touch to the fruit. The wine has not yet quite got itself in place, though the classy of the finish suggests that it will arrive in due course.

A more complex and more floral-suffused nose offers up notes of rosemary oil, petrol and citrus zest. There is again excellent punch to the utterly delicious medium weight flavors that possess fine mid-palate density while displaying excellent length on the youthfully austere finale. This could use better depth but the underlying material appears up to the task and overall, this is potentially excellent for its level. *Outstanding Top Value*

Wine Advocate
The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc delivers aromas of white flowers, pear, orange zest and nutmeg, followed by a medium to full-bodied, racy and perfumed palate framed by chalky structure and concluding with an impressively long, saline finish. If Moreau can deliver quality like this, with sites like this, in a vintage like this, the future clearly holds great things for him. (WK)
