Presentation of the Domaine David Moret

David Moret is an iconic winemaker, renowned for his expertise in the vinification and maturation of great white Burgundy wines. Based in Beaune since 1999, this small wine merchant works closely with renowned estates to select the best grapes from the Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise.

A specialist in great Chardonnays, David Moret ages his wines in oak barrels, using a controlled proportion of new wood, which gives his vintages elegant aromas of vanilla and toast.

His wine philosophy is based on aromatic purity, freshness and a perfect expression of the terroirs.

Among its flagship vintages, we find prestigious appellations such as Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, and Corton-Charlemagne. This Puligny-Montrachet 2018 perfectly embodies the distinguished and precise style of David Moret.
