Moreau’s grandfather planted the family’s La Cardeuse plot to both red and white: Pinot for the clay soils, at the bottom and top of the parcel, and Chardonnay on the chalky soils in the middle! The two plots of Pinot are old: 45 years up the top of the plot and 65 years for the lower plot. La Cardeuse is one of Chassagne’s smallest vineyards, and it was a Bernard Moreau monopole before the vines were divided between Benoît and his brother Alex. Benoît does not punch down, preferring a gentler extraction, and his use of whole bunches (usually between 30% and 50%) varies from season to season. The 2023 is superb.
