Domaine David Moret

David studied winemaking at school, but didn’t have a family domaine to work in when he graduated, so he began his career in wine by selling winery equipment to local vignerons. His personable character ensured success in this endeavour, as well as friendships with some of the top growers of the Côte de Beaune.

He purchased his first barrels in 1999 and since then, he has continued to buy small parcels of grapes from the top growers to press and ferment in his cellar, always from the same plots of vines, since he knows the ones he wants.

Philosophy

David Moret gets his grapes from several of the best growers in Burgundy. Each year he handpicks and reserves small parcels of grapes from Burgundy’s best vignerons, usually from five to six trusted growers.

He works closely with the growers, with whom he has close ties and partnerships, ensuring that the vines and grapes are kept in the best possible condition. To ward off diseases, the vines are treated with copper spray and natural yeast, rather than pesticides.

The wines are barrel fermented and aged in barrels for nine to twelve months.The production is small, on average 7,000 bottles each year of mainly Meursault, Puligny Montrachet and Rully.
