David Moret is the name that always comes to mind when I think of the top producers of white Burgundy. He works exclusively with Chardonnay in the Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise, crafting wines that show the delicate nuances and elegance of this grape. David has always been true to the terroir he works, using biodynamic practices and an exceedingly careful approach not only in the vineyard, but in the cellar as well, creating wines that are true expressions of the land from which they come. He ferments and ages all his wines in French oak barrels, imparting a depth and concentration seldom seen outside a handful of great producers. I have always marveled at how he is able to combine this intensity with his emphasis on precision, tension, minerality and freshness. It is a balancing act even the most accomplished tightrope walkers would envy!
Les Perrières is widely considered one of the unofficial Grand Crus of Meursault and David's expression of this vineyard is absolutely stellar! The wine pours an alluring pale gold in the glass with light greenish reflections. This Premier Cru is intensely aromatic displaying a gorgeous blend of white orchard and citrus fruits with hints of white flowers. The palate is rich and concentrated with dazzling purity of fruit. Flavors of Golden Delicious apple and white peach meld with secondary notes of preserved lemons and marzapan. Delicate acidity and wonderful minerality intertwine across the palate leading to incredibly precise and lengthy finish. Try with lobster risotto, salmon beurre blanc or roasted chicken.
