-translucent pale gold-green
-green fruit sea water typical Chablis aromatics
-med acidity, med weight with excellent concentration/depth round saline lime citrus mineral faint tropical note
-excellent Chablis typicity with the generosity of the vintage, drinking well now and should remain on a prime drinking plateau for another 2-3 years, great value (1864 views) | | | Tasted by WEB,III on 11/16/2015 & rated 90 points: Delicious at 5 years for an entry level Chablis. (2758 views) | | | Tasted by JesperR on 10/10/2015 & rated 89 points: From half bottle, with 'DIAM-cork'. Pure and very clean standard Chablis showing very well right now. Lovely, slightly evolved and ready to go imo. Creamy with oyster and saline notes on the palate. No signs of pre-ox. Good qpr. (2999 views) | | | Tasted by Gargantua on 8/27/2015: Drinking just lovely. A slightly buttery roundness with discrete yet proper acid and some saline crushed seashell /limestone hints on the finish. I'll save my last bottle for three more years in hoping it gets to that honeyed yet saline magical place. How I love 2010. (3121 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 7/8/2014 & rated 89 points: CDP Offline at Heyday (Donjon Vertical; Clos des Pape, Charvin, plus Whites) (Heyday, Mpls, MN): Light gold color. Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. Fairly bright and fruity on the nose, grapefruit dominant. The palate is tart, grapefruit dominant, citrus, medium finish. This was very good, especially at the price point. Not quite as polished as the previous bottle. (4470 views) | | | Tasted by galewskj on 1/28/2014 & rated 91 points: A nice middle-of-the-road chablis. Good minerality but not painfully so. This went well with food. (3354 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 1/26/2014 & rated 91 points: Monthly Tasting Group: CDP's and Southern Rhones (Cafe Lurcat, Mpls, MN): Light gold color. Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. This was an impressive bottle of base Chablis that showed wonderfully. Nose has earth, fresh sea air, minerals, lemon. The palate is light, earthy, lemon, medium plus finish, medium acid, minerals. Very good. Everyone loved this which seems in contrast to many of the more mundane notes on this wine so far. (3210 views) | | | Tasted by Cote d'Or on 11/24/2013: PopnPour, tasted over 3 hrs
-translucent pale yellow
-muted, some lemon and saline
-med acidity, slightly creamy lemon, a touch of banana/tropical, moderate sappiness, creamy bitter finish
-decent, on the simple side, may improve with a couple more years in bottle (2500 views) | | | Tasted by Champagneinhand on 4/24/2013 & rated 86 points: right now, "meh" at best. Muted tropical fruit with citrus acid and calcium mineral background. Plenty of acidity, but no where near the best village Chablis I've ever had. A bit disappointing, but may just be too young. (3762 views) | | | Tasted by Fateful Destiny on 4/15/2013 & rated 88 points: Average. Not all that impressed. I would not buy again. (2553 views) | | | Tasted by lwinep on 3/6/2013 & rated 88 points: pale lemon color. On the nose, the has a med+ intensity. Aromas of citrus, minerals, green apple. On the palate, the wine is med+ acid, med alcohol, medium bodied with flavor aromas of tart apples. The wine is good and will age. (1948 views) | | | Tasted by bullmrkt on 11/15/2012 & rated 88 points: Even though its a village wine, its probably still a bit early to be drinking this. Anyway, lemon zest and peaches backed by zippy acidity and chablis minearality. (2758 views) | | | Tasted by JesperR on 8/28/2012 & rated 89 points: Good value; very promising and showing well already (3169 views) | | | Tasted by KSWinegeek on 4/25/2012 & rated 88 points: Clear and light yellow. Lemon on nose and lemon/lime flavors on palate. Tart, balanced, with some acidity and an elongated lemony finish. Good summer wine. (2686 views) | | | Tasted by wino_tim on 4/16/2012 & rated 87 points: Bright and distinctive, with a raw meat accent to the crunchy green apple and lime flavors. Soft for the style. (2588 views) | | | Tasted by maxfischer on 3/5/2012 & rated 92 points: This is a great value. Extremely well integrated, given how young it is. Classic chablis nose, solid but not bracing acidity, and long finish. Enough lemon peel scented fruit to keep it light. Really can't believe it's not a Premier Cru. (2529 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 2/13/2012 & rated 88 points: 2010 Burgundies - Frederick Wildman Portfolio (Hotel Monaco, San Francisco, California): Bright light lemon yellow color; ripe lemon, light peach nose; tart peach, ripe citrus palate; medium finish 88+ points (2757 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/10/2012 & rated 87 points: Wildman New Release Burgundy Tasting (Peninsula Hotel - Chicago IL): Lemon and orange aromas. Simple lemon flavors on palate with moderate acidity and minerality that show classic Chablis character. Very good for its level. Drink in the next 3-4 years.

Christian Moreau, former director of J. Moreau & Fils in Burgundy's Chablis region, is unveiling a new project in Chablis. Three wines of the new Christian Moreau Pére & Fils label—a Chablis 1999, a premier cru Vaillons 1999 and a small amount of grand cru Les Clos 1999—will reach wine shops in the United States this spring.
The new wines are made from purchased grapes, but Moreau will regain the use of his own premiers and grands crus vineyards in 2001, after the expiration of his contract to supply grapes to J. Moreau & Fils, which is now owned by Burgundy giant Boisset. Among Moreau's vineyard holdings are 25 acres of grand cru Vaudisir, Valmur and Les Clos, including the tiny Clos des Hospices, a coveted 5.3-acre monopole, or single-owner vineyard, in the heart of Les Clos.
Joining Moreau as winemaker is his son Fabien, who studied enology at Dijon University. "There will be no more vins de table," said the elder Moreau. "I want to stay on the small side and control the quality." To achieve growth from 250 cases to 6,500 cases annually, Moreau purchased one of the William Févre wineries from Bouchard Pére & Fils.
The new Christian Moreau Chablis, Vaillons and Les Clos, not yet rated, will sell for about $17, $28 and $50, respectively. Frederick Wildman & Sons of New York, whose contract with J. Moreau & Fils ended recently, is the importer, continuing the relationship that Christian Moreau's father, Guy, began in 1938.Chardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
Chablis Chablis (Fédération de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis) | Chablis (Burgundy Wines)
2014 Vintage Notes:
"... a hybrid of 2004/2007 and 2010. The stone, citrus and limestone amalgam is exactly what we search for in Chablis as the style harkens to a day in the Cote de Beaune proper (1960's - 1980's) when wine was not meant to be consumed the week it was released, battonage was not used by all and new oak was rarely seen ... the texture is natural and 'of the vintage' not 'of the winemaker' .... Like Sancerre or the Loire in general, 2014 in Chablis is one of those rare years with extract and transparency. It appears to be a vintage for the "neoclassic" ages and those of us intent on cellaring the most terroir-driven (but still powerful) examples of vineyard, site-place and varietal will want to invest (heavily) in the magnetic and electric 2014's." - Jon Rimmerman
2018 Vintage Notes:
"There’s not that razor sharp Chablis acidity in 2018,” says Patrick Piuze. “But there is good definition of place. The dry conditions drove vines to drink deeper down in the soil profile."
