David Moret is a talented micro-négociant based in a small cellar in Beaune. With no family-owned vines, David struck out alone in the late 1980s, securing a bank loan to buy his first barrels and fruit from respected growers. Since then, he has continued to buy small parcels of grapes from around eight top growers, predominantly in the ‘Côte des Blancs’ triangle of Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, with select parcels from some lesser-known villages that offer exceptional value. David’s whites are all oak-fermented and defined by his signature toastiness, which is perfectly balanced by the vibrant fruit character of his wines.
In the right hands, the often-overlooked Aligoté grape variety can shine. The 60-year-old vines give an Aligoté with beautiful concentration and a lovely balance of power, richness and acidity. Bright citrus notes are married with hints of nougat and toasted hazelnuts which linger on the finish.
