David Moreau
David Moreau is a young winemaker based in Santenay, Côte 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. David is beginning with 5 of the family’s 9 hectares and suffice to say that significant changes in both viticulture and vinification have been made compared to the ancient regime. The vineyards were almost all planted in the 1960s, so David has old vines to work with. They are mostly pruned by cordon royat to minimise vigour, and the land is either ploughed or left with grass depending on the circumstance of a given plot. Wine is the outcome of the work of people on one terroir which is what gives it its well-established distinction. It is the result of countless choices about the cultivation of the grapes, winemaking, as well as the maturation of the finished wine.
