Tasting Notes
The Chablis from Christian Moreau are always on our shelves when we can get them. They typify the region with their expression of the terroir that so many people a chasing - the expression of Kimmeridgian limestone. Les Clos is a Grand Cru, south-facing site of which C.Moreau holds a massive 2.9ha plot. As to be expected (from GC sites), the wine has good concentration of clean fruit and an intensity of minerality we all look to find in good Chablis. The palate is long and harmonious, and will age well for 10 years while still retaining its freshness. A wonderful producer and an incredible wine. - Chris L
One of the oldest and most respected names in Chablis, this branch of the Moreau family is headed by Christian and now his son Fabien who is the winemaker and manager.
Possessing magnificent vineyard holdings built up in some of the very best vineyard areas of Chablis by the family over generations (including nearly 8 hectares out of Chablis' total 92 hectares of Grand cru), this small but remarkable estate has in just a few years established itself as one of the leading producers of Chablis producing consistently outstanding wines.
A combination of exceptional vineyard sites, old vines, brilliant winemaking and fastidious care in every step of production has resulted in these wines being regarded as amongst the very best produced in Chablis. These are wines of precision, crystal clear typicity, and elegance, that will age classically while enabling tremendous enjoyment throughout their lives. - Importer Note
