Chablis 2017
Domaine Christian Moreau Père & Fils
The versatile, affordable, village Chablis from Domaine Christian Moreau Père et Fils is bright and crisp, with the classic, taut structure and refreshing minerality that define traditional Chablis. This is a Moreau classic!
Vinification: The winemaking techniques strive to honor the high quality of the terroir, vines and grapes, bringing out the very best in every harvest.
All equipment, from the trailers used to transport the grape harvest to the vats themselves, has been carefully selected so that each parcel of land can be worked separately. All harvesting is done exclusively by hand from the Petit Chablis up to the Grands Crus.
Additional Information

Date: Tuesday, November 5, 2019"An opulent style of Chablis, revealing peach, melon and apple fruit. Reveals good cut, leaving a cleansing feel on the finish. Drink now. 2,000 cases imported." -
Burghound Author: Allen Meadows
Date: Monday, October 1, 2018"(100% stainless). An airy and agreeably pure nose combines notes of petrol, iodine and white and yellow-fleshed fruit compote. The succulent but punchy middle weight flavors exhibit both good intensity and reasonably good detail on the saline, clean and appealingly dry finish."Grade: 87-89 points
