Description

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. This Chablis is a benchmark expression. Grown in some of the best of the region’s vineyards, it comes from vines aged 40 years or more, located in the Les Pargues site. This is nestled between two Premier Cru sites. The wine is aged in 100% stainless steel for ultimate fruit purity. It is rich and balanced, with moderate weight. A Chablis to savour

Very fresh, mineral vintage with less alcoholic level and nice tension. A little bit away from the 2 last “warm” vintages 2018 and 2019. Regarding the style, we have more minerality/tension compared to the previous vintages.” Fabien Moreau

Review

Aged mostly in stainless steel with 15% of the blend this year seeing barrel aging. 40+ years old vines. Comes mostly from very old vines situated in Les Pargues on the hill located between the Premier Cru sites of Montmains and Vosgros. This terroir has historically always been very highly regarded by locals and produces wines of extra depth and character. This parcel is blended with a Cuvee from the village of Beru in the east which Fabien describes as naturally reductive, and more recently a parcel from behind the hill of Grand cru’s towards Fontenay. The blend of these 3 terroirs brings extra complexity and a perfect balance of generosity from Les Pargues, coolness, and minerality from Fontenay together with reserve and finesse from Beru.
