RATINGS

94Stephen Tanzer

Ineffable nose combines wet stone, iodine, citrus skin and spices. Offers superb sweetness of flavor allied to great cut and freshness. Wonderfully elegant grand cru with very intense flavors of grapefruit and dusty stone. Very long...

93Wine Spectator

Reticent on the nose, this explodes on the palate with ripe apple, lemon and flint flavors, really resonant and alive. It's firmly structured and harmonious, with a silky texture and a long, detailed finish.

92Burghound.com

Elegant and superbly pure aromas of oyster shell, green fruit and a lovely touch of citrus merge into sappy, beautifully intense flavors that possess outstanding depth of material with almost perfect harmony of expression.

PRODUCER

Christian Moreau

Domaine Christian Moreau Pere et Fils traces its roots to the early 19th century, when Jean Joseph Moreau founded a wine merchant company in Chablis. In the 1980s the family sold the business, but in 2002 the family bought it back. Today Fabien Moreau, who earned a degree in winemaking in Dijon and worked in winemaking in New Zealand before returning to Burgundy, is Managing Director and head winemaker at the Domaine. The domaine has 30 acres in Chablis, including Grand Crus in Les Clos des Hospices, a monopole, Les Clos, Valmur, Vaudesir and Blanchot. Wine Advocate has complimented the domaine and called it a Chablis “success story.” Wine Advocate calls the domaine “the poster children for a new Chablis quality consciousness…”
