David Moreau is a young winemaker based in Santenay, Cote de Beaune, Burgundy. He tends to 5 ha in Village and 1er Cru Appellations of the family vineyard, taking care of both the vines and the environment in order to produce great quality wines that reflect each Terroir.
Most of the vines were planted by his grandfather in the 1960s at the bottom of the slope on the Chassagne Montrachet side of Santenay. David Moreau creates both white and red wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the traditional grape varieties of Burgundy. The only aim is to produce high quality wines that are not meant to be simply consumed, but also enjoyed and appreciated.
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"In Burgundian geology the name Dalle Nacrée refers to a type of Dijon-Corton limestone that can be split into thin layers and is littered with small pieces of shells and fossil. This cuvée offers fresh, charming and crunchy red fruit, with a delicate and voluptuous mouthfeel.
10% whole cluster, gravity transfer to concrete tank. Ambient yeast fermentation with no added SO2, one punch-down daily until mid-fermentation and one pump-over daily until the end of maceration. Aged for 12 months in barrels (15% new), followed by 4 months in tank. SO2 added after malolactic fermentation and at bottling. Bottled on a fruit day, waning moon."
