From one of Chassagne-Montrachet’s most highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards, Les Vergers 2023 from Domaine Moingeon is a Chardonnay of precision, depth and elegance. Notes of citrus, white peach and ripe orchard fruit are layered with subtle hazelnut and mineral nuances, leading into a textured, medium to full bodied palate with vibrant acidity and a long, focused finish. Rich without excess, it pairs beautifully with lobster, turbot, roast poultry or creamy mushroom dishes.

A refined Premier Cru Burgundy: mineral, textured and beautifully balanced. Ideal for lovers of serious white Burgundy.

Though specific vine parcels have been in the family for more than 150 years, Domaine Moingeon really began to flourish when André Moingeon took it over in 1950s. André welcomed his son Michel to the team in 1978, and more recently, his grandson Florent has joined the team. Together, they've expanded the domaine to cover 10 hectares of vines in the Saint Aubin region. The domaine's approach is contemporary and approachable, offering wines that are both modern and easy to enjoy.

Chardonnay (100%)

Chardonnay is one of the most versatile and widely planted white grape varieties in the world, renowned for its adaptability to diverse climates and winemaking styles. Originating in Burgundy, where it reaches its most elegant and mineral expression, Chardonnay can range from crisp and steely to rich and opulent, depending on where and how it is made. Its relatively neutral character allows it to reflect both terroir and technique—whether aged in stainless steel for a lean, citrus-driven profile, or in oak barrels to develop notes of vanilla, toast, and creamy texture. Flavours often include apple, pear, lemon, peach, and tropical fruits, with cool-climate examples offering tension and minerality, while warmer regions yield fuller, rounder styles. From Chablis to Napa, Margaret River to Sicily, Chardonnay remains a benchmark for quality and diversity in white wine.

Burgundy - in eastern France, is one of the world’s most revered wine regions, celebrated for its deep-rooted history, complex terroirs, and single-varietal expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Unlike Bordeaux's grand blends, Burgundy focuses on purity and place, with wines that reflect the nuances of individual vineyards—sometimes just a few rows of vines. The region is divided into key subregions: Chablis in the north (crisp, mineral whites), the Côte de Nuits (prestigious reds like Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée), the Côte de Beaune (home to legendary whites like Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet), as well as the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais. With a mosaic of limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate, Burgundy produces wines of finesse, elegance, and remarkable aging potential. Its system of classifications—from regional to village, premier cru, and grand cru—is rooted in centuries of tradition and terroir-driven philosophy.
