By the 1970s the Domaine’s reputation had grown further still thanks to Bernard Moreau, who was in charge at the time and after whom the Domaine was subsequently named. Bernard’s sons, Alex and Benoit, arrived at the estate in 1998 and have since been taking the quality levels to even greater heights. They are now recognised as one of the main reference points for Chassagne-Montrachet. The Moreau brothers farm the estate, which spans 14ha of vines in Chassagne, without herbicides or pesticides and only use organic fertilizer when needed. Harvesting tends towards the earlier side, preferring alcohols at the lower end of the spectrum as Alex Moreau says “we like to drink our wines” - so they aim to produce complexity and character in the wines without compromising balance and freshness. Fermentations, with wild yeasts, are long and élévage takes place in barrel over 12 months without batonnage and racking. The wines are then moved to tank and kept there, on fine lees, for a further 4-6 months before bottling. New oak is present but kept to a minimum - 20% the villages and 25% new for the 1ers Crus. Pure, full of character yet eminently drinkable these are consistently among the top white Burgundies, vintage after vintage.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-05-23T10:54:52-04:00","created_at":"2023-05-12T06:34:37-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK1105","Other_Wine","Producer_Benoit Moreau","Region_Burgundy","Source_Bestofwines0523","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Chardonnay"],"price":89999,"price_min":89999,"price_max":89999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42929892786314,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Benoit Moreau | Les Champlots","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":89999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_5f3a0f6c-74f7-4fb2-846c-52ceb92d4e4a.webp?v=1683887772"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_5f3a0f6c-74f7-4fb2-846c-52ceb92d4e4a.webp?v=1683887772","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Benoit Moreau | Les Champlots at CaskCartel.com","id":24602171637898,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.268,"height":1000,"width":268,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_5f3a0f6c-74f7-4fb2-846c-52ceb92d4e4a.webp?v=1683887772"},"aspect_ratio":0.268,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/46_5f3a0f6c-74f7-4fb2-846c-52ceb92d4e4a.webp?v=1683887772","width":268}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2020 | Benoit Moreau | Les Champlots\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfurling in the glass with notes of crisp green orchard fruit, tart apricot, almond paste and crushed stones, the 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots is medium to full-bodied, chalky and saline, with tangy acids and promising grip on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Benoit Moreau\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings: \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eWA\u003c\/span\u003e | 92\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France, Burgundy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfurling in the glass with notes of crisp green orchard fruit, tart apricot, almond paste and crushed stones, the 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots is medium to full-bodied, chalky and saline, with tangy acids and promising grip on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222223;\"\u003eReviews:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #9f250d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Advocate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Unfurling in the glass with notes of crisp green orchard fruit, tart apricot, almond paste and crushed stones, the 2020 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots is medium to full-bodied, chalky and saline, with tangy acids and promising grip on the finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\nThe Domaine’s roots date back to 1809 but really came to prominence in the 1930s when Marcel Moreau expanded production.
