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”.

Wine Spectator

This bright, succulent white is harmonious and approachable, delivering peach, melon, yellow plum and mineral aromas and flavors. A persistent version, lingering nicely on the salty, tangy finish. Drink now through 2028.
