About

The Domaine Christian Moreau Père et Fils is settled in the heart of Chablis since 2001, near by the Grands Crus, in very functional and modern facilities: an entirely air-conditioned 1500 m2 place gathering all the vineyard equipment, fermenting room, bottling, labeling and wine storage. The Domaine also has an old 17th century vault in the center of Chablis, «la Grange aux Dîmes”. The logo representing the Statue of Saint Martin can be seen in front of the church facing our “Grange”.

Terroir

The vineyard is located in the village of Chablis, in the very heart of Chablis, on the left bank of the Serein River, and benefit from an excellent south, south-east exposure. The soil is made up of kimmeridgien clay, a soil specific to the Chablis region. It is rich in fossil shells of a small oyster, Exogyra virgula, frequently found in the Chablis soil.

Vinification

Harvested by hand, carried by small trailers, which unload the grapes by vibration to avoid crushing, then we use a sorting table to eliminate unripe or damaged grapes. Pneumatic winepress. Cool racking. Natural yeasts. 55% in stainless steel vats with temperature-controlled fermentation. 45% in barrels (2-3-4 years old barrels, less than 5% of new oak) for 8 months, and blending before bottling. 100% of the malolactic fermentation. Natural tartaric stabilization after 12 to 16 months aging.

Vinous

The 2022 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru has a more mineral driven bouquet than the Village. Satsuma and citrus fruit are quite lively and vigorous in the glass. The palate is fresh with a fine bead of acidity, slightly honeyed in texture but with a seductive lemongrass/spicy note that extends the finish. Superb.
