Positioned higher on the slope than Montrachet itself, Chevalier-Montrachet is known for its shallower topsoil and exceptionally rocky terrain. These conditions produce wines of tremendous freshness and mineral tension. Bernard Moreau’s interpretation highlights the vineyard’s purity and elegance, offering a style that is more mineral-driven and lifted than many richer Grand Cru Chardonnays while retaining extraordinary depth and longevity. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
