{"product_id":"saint-aubin-terre-blanche-domaine-alex-moreau-2022","title":"Saint-Aubin Terre Blanche, Domaine Alex Moreau 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlex Moreau is part of the Moreau family of Chassagne Montrachet, working alongside his father Bernard Moreau before establishing his own label and style. Based in the heart of the village, he draws on deep rooted family holdings across some of Chassagne’s most respected sites, with a focus on precise, site driven Chardonnay. Farming is carried out with a strong emphasis on sustainability and vineyard health, and in the cellar his approach is measured and exacting, favouring gentle pressing, controlled fermentations and élevage designed to balance richness with tension. The wines are known for their clarity, mineral precision and quietly layered structure, sitting firmly within a modern but classically grounded Burgundian style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerre Blanche comes from higher altitude limestone slopes in Saint Aubin, where thinner soils and cooler exposures produce a more tensile and mineral driven expression of Chardonnay. The site naturally yields wines with bright acidity and a focused, linear profile, often sitting stylistically between Puligny precision and a slightly more open texture. Moreau approaches the cuvée with restraint, using gentle pressing and barrel fermentation to preserve purity while building subtle texture. Elevage on fine lees adds depth without softening the wine’s natural drive. The wine shows lemon zest, green apple and white peach, with notes of white flowers, crushed stone and a pronounced saline edge. The palate is taut and energetic, with fine acidity and a long, mineral finish that reflects the altitude and limestone intensity of the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003eFrance, Burgundy, Saint Aubin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e13.0%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eTaut, mineral, energetic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eGentle whole bunch pressing, fermentation in barrel over 3 weeks with indigenous yeasts, followed by 10 months élevage on fine lees with minimal bâtonnage, then 2 months in tank before bottling to preserve tension, purity and mineral definition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003eSustainable Viticulture, Low intervention\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Alex Moreau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55514756645240,"sku":"SAINT-A-22-ALM-WHI","price":58.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/BotleYellow_720x_1296x_b1ac1a77-bcd8-4ec4-b2d0-283fa2191c09.png?v=1774631547","url":"https:\/\/sipwines.shop\/products\/saint-aubin-terre-blanche-domaine-alex-moreau-2022","provider":"SipWines Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
