Elegant, mineral-rich, and undeniably Burgundian, the 2022 David Moret Saint-Romain is a standout white wine from one of Burgundy’s highest-altitude appellations.
Crafted from hand-harvested Chardonnay grapes grown at 410 metres above sea level in the Saint-Romain vineyards of Côte de Beaune, this vintage reflects the purity and freshness of the terroir. The cool microclimate and chalky limestone soils contribute to its signature minerality and linear acidity.
About the 2022 Vintage
The 2022 vintage in Burgundy is already being hailed as exceptional. After a difficult 2021, 2022 brought ideal growing conditions despite periods of heat and drought. A cool winter delayed budburst, protecting vines from frost, while late-June rains revitalised the vineyards. The result? A harvest of ripe, balanced fruit with vibrant aromatics and excellent natural acidity.
Winemaking Notes
Grapes were gently whole-bunch pressed and fermented with native yeasts in 228L French oak barrels (20% new). The wine then underwent full malolactic fermentation and aged on lees for 11 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered in November, this wine retains full character and texture.
Tasting Profile:
• Nose: Bright citrus zest, white peach, delicate toast and a hint of butter.
• Palate: Lively acidity with notes of lemon curd, green apple, and a flinty mineral core.
• Finish: Long, clean, and layered – with hallmark Saint-Romain freshness.

Discover the exceptional craftsmanship of David Moret, a boutique white wine producer based in the heart of Beaune, Burgundy. A talented micro-négociant winemaker, David has been crafting elegant, oak-aged white wines since the late 1980s, focusing exclusively on Chardonnay grapes from Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune.
Starting with no family vineyards, David took a leap of faith by securing a bank loan to purchase his first barrels and grapes. Today, he sources premium fruit from around eight respected growers, primarily located in the Côte des Blancs triangle, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Chassagne-Montrachet, along with hidden gems from lesser-known Burgundy villages that offer outstanding value.
What sets David Moret white Burgundy wines apart is his commitment to quality winemaking and vineyard control. He personally oversees vineyard practices throughout the growing season and determines the optimal harvest date for each parcel. He exclusively purchases whole grape bunches, allowing him to sort fruit meticulously on arrival, now enhanced with state-of-the-art optical sorting technology.
All of David’s white wines from his expressive Bourgogne Aligoté to his prestigious Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne, are oak-fermented and aged on fine lees for 12 to 18 months. Using lightly toasted Allier oak barrels, he achieves his signature style: toasty, textured white wines with vibrant fruit character and a refined finish. The use of new oak is tailored to each vintage and cuvée, ensuring balance and elegance.
Experience handcrafted, small-batch Burgundy Chardonnay wines that reflect both terroir and technique, a true testament to David Moret’s dedication to classic Burgundian winemaking.
