The 2022 Santenay Cuvée S, named after Moreau's grandmother Simone, comes from colluvial soils that tend to suffer millerandage. It has a refined and elegant bouquet with red cherries and crushed strawberry scents - fine mineralité here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, an "airy" Santenay with impressive purity and grace. Feels very sustained on the finish. I feel it will gain more intensity by the time of bottling.

David Moreau is perhaps the great discovery of 2014 for me - for now he has taken over part of his grandfather’s domaine in Santenay and has produced wines there since 2009. He has an impeccable winemaking resume having worked on white wines with Olivier Lamy (Domaine Hubert Lamy) and was apprenticed to Domaine de la Romanée Conti where he learnt a thing or two about red wine..He also worked for a short time in New Zealand at Neudorf.

David has made very significant changes in both viticulture and vinification since 2009 all designed to produce the very best wine possible regardless of cost. He has relatively old vines that are mostly pruned by cordon royat to minimise vigour, and the vitculture is raisonné - watch this space
