Christian Moreau Chablis Vaillons Cuvée Guy Moreau 1er Cru 2016

Here the nose is similar to the regular cuvée but with the addition of mineral reduction and more evident wood wisps. There is a bit more wood evident in the mouth as well on the rich, concentrated, powerful and palate coating flavours thanks to the abundant level of dry extract, all wrapped in a bitter lemon and saline-inflected finale that offers just a bit more overall depth and persistence on the balanced finish where the wood resurfaces. While the oak treatment is prominent, the underlying material appears to be up to the task of successfully integrating it in time.
