David Moreau Visits Joe Canal's Woodbridge

I love my job. I know I say that a lot, but today, after a day off, I come into a regular day at the store and in walks Winemaker David Moreau, unannounced, to just say hi and let us taste some of his 2010 wines. It happened to be a day when we were all fortunate enough to be here. The General Manager, the Woodbridge Store Manager, both Woodbridge Wine Managers, Internet Manager, Website Manager, Wine Sales Associate and the Senior Wine Manager from the Lawrenceville store all happened to be here. What luck!



David Moreau is the Winemaker of Domaine de la Buissere in Burgundy’s Santenay region. He took over the winemaking duties from his father and the 2010 vintage marks his 2nd vintage. And what a stellar vintage it is! We tasted through 5 of his 2010s and each one was better than the last.



While the 2010s have not yet been released, the 2009 David Moreau Santenay Vieille Vignes is still available for $29.99 at both the Iselin and Lawrenceville stores. The Vieille Vignes is a single vineyard wine made with small berries that do not have seeds. The wine, therefore, becomes really concentrated and spicy. Grab a 2009 before they disappear and get geared up for the 2010 Burgundys!



David has a flight back to France tonight, and on his way out said, "See you in Santenay!" Is my boss reading this?
