Domaine David Moret – The Confidential Signature of Burgundian Chardonnay

A micro-négociant dedicated to the finest white terroirs of the Côte de Beaune

Established in Beaune in 1999, David Moret is among the rare micro-négociants who have risen to the forefront of Chardonnay interpretation in the Côte de Beaune. A passionate autodidact with uncompromising standards, he sources grapes from elite terroirs in Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, and the noble slopes of Corton-Charlemagne.

His precise, sensitive and resolutely artisanal approach has shaped a recognisable style, now sought after by lovers of great Burgundian whites: luminous, finely chiselled wines of remarkable purity.

Exceptional Terroirs – A Precision-Driven Parcel Selection

Philosophy & Winemaking – Purity at the Core

The Moret style rests on three immutable principles:

Strict grape selection from top-tier partner growers;
Delicate, non-interventionist vinification to preserve integrity and tension;
Measured barrel ageing (20–40% new oak) for 9 to 12 months, always in subtle support.

The result: wines of crystalline clarity, subtle salinity, and exemplary balance, each faithfully reflecting its terroir.

Wine Style – Light, Tension and Silky Elegance

David Moret’s wines are defined by:

remarkable aromatic purity;
finely chiselled mineral tension;
a signature silky texture;
subtle, integrated oak;
a fresh, saline, beautifully extended finish.

Conclusion – A Rare, Precise and Deeply Burgundian Signature

Working closely with elite partner growers, David Moret produces intentionally limited volumes — just 7,000 to 10,000 bottles per year — guaranteeing consistency and a style that is immediately recognisable.

His wines, tense, luminous and elegant, now stand among the clearest and most essential expressions of contemporary Burgundian Chardonnay. A confidential signature for those who seek the essentials: fruit, place, purity.
