(702 views) | | | Tasted by richard.presser on 11/21/2019 & rated 88 points: A Chablis nose but a white burgundy palate. Shows the ripe year. Pleasant enough (1208 views) | | | Tasted by NCWW on 5/22/2019 & rated 90 points: Rock solid everyday Chablis (1291 views) | | | Tasted by NCWW on 3/22/2019 & rated 90 points: A fine Chablis, with buttery tastes on the palate. Maybe a bit closed. (1248 views) | | | Tasted by Sourdough on 12/9/2018 & rated 89 points: Lovely soewhat soft chardonnay in the form of Chablis. Ripe peach with citrus. Better warmer. Very pleasant. Good finish. (1457 views) | | | Tasted by rlove on 6/18/2018 & rated 87 points: Very ripe peach and citrus aromas accented by iodine and crushed stone. Ripe fruit on the palate, medium weight, glycerol. This vintage isn't my bag. (1416 views) | | | Tasted by r.o.man on 5/30/2018 & rated 92 points: This has aged really great. Gained some weight on the midpalate, the structure is more pronounced, all nicely integrated, compact. Very good medium plus body with typical Chablis chalky minerality. Very good! (1129 views) | | | Tasted by kdubler on 10/24/2017: Bourgogne Master Class Chablis Tasting: Nice wine but was out classed by the Grand cru that followed so hard to give a fair review.
Riper than I am used to for a Chablis, Yellow apple, ripe pear, banana and maybe even a hint of apricot on the nose. Very little of the Chablis mineral edge I am used to. Slight sign of lees, and more citrus on the palate, lime and even a meyer lemon. Acidity was low for a Chablis as well. (1545 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 4/28/2017: Domain Tasting-2015 Christian Moreau Chablis (Chablis, France): Yellow. Ripe citrus and saline scents. Same mix in the mouth on a fine limestone base. Soil finish. Substantial for a village wine, not too fat at all. (1918 views) | | | Tasted by walkerjfw on 3/25/2017: Jay's Big Bottle Extravaganza (Jay's Home - Martinsville, New Jersey): Drank after the William Feve, first experience with this wine. I think 2015s only recently released. From a 750, nicely chilled.
Bright straw color. Nose of orchard fruits. Palate showing peach, apricot, herbs. Crisp and precise on the finish. Not much depth to the wine, but may improve with age. I heard this was a $25 bottle, if so the QPR is good... (1809 views) | | | Tasted by JOsgood on 3/11/2017: La Paulée de New York - Grand Tasting (Pier Sixty - Chelsea Piers): First taste of 2015 Chablis - if this is any indication, pass on the vintage. Too ripe. (1844 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/11/2017: La Paulée de New York Grand Tasting (Pier Sixty - New York NY): Tastin, brief note. Floral, bright and nicely balanced. Fruit is ripe ut well centered. Very good+ for its price and level. (2231 views) | | | Tasted by r.o.man on 2/4/2017 & rated 92 points: I have some bad experiences with Moreau's entry level wines - I described vintages 12 and 14 as boring and pointless. It is different with 15. Restrained, but with real structure and depth. Nose of coldness and frozen apricot and peach frappe, touch of schist and steel. Herbal and salty taste, touch bitter, persistent and long. It is doing wonders with air and slow warming up in glass. Very, very good! (852 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 7/20/2016 & rated 87 points: Visite au Domaine Christian Moreau Père & Fils (Chablis): Un Villages en achat de raisin. Assez gras, gourmand, facile à boire, très agréable, mais simple. 87 pts (906 views) | | | Tasted by Ebrim on 5/13/2016 & rated 85 points: Lime, greene apples, very fresh, fig/peach, hint tropical, gooseberry, well structured and balanced, v.good q 85-86p (754 views) |

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."
