| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.1 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 17 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Johno's Cellar on 11/15/2020 & rated 92 points: Delicious fruit driven with complexity of flavour mouth feel and length. Continuously driving you to have another sip. A really enjoyable young Chablis (617 views) | | | Tasted by colorflavorlocking on 11/28/2019 & rated 88 points: Quite ripe, good acidity. Too big for a Chablis. (1032 views) | | | Tasted by Jeffyboy on 3/31/2019 & rated 89 points: lemony, medium intense, shiny colour. nose: balanced and calm; peach + hay+very ripe lemon; medium intensity. taste: medium acidity. hay plus some stone fruits; good balance, elegant; medium (+) finish with some soft vanilla notes (1105 views) | | | Tasted by pren on 11/28/2018 & rated 87 points: 淡，没啥滋味。 (1304 views) | | | Tasted by the godfather on 10/25/2018: Love it (1239 views) | | | Tasted by the godfather on 8/12/2018: Very good (1173 views) | | | Tasted by the godfather on 7/9/2018: much better and less tropical than last bottle, delicious (993 views) | | | Tasted by rlove on 7/7/2018 & rated 88 points: Compared to 2015 this is still noticably ripe with that gylcerol-driven texture common to warm-vintage Chablis, but this lacks that vintage's flabbiness, with an assertive acidity and deeper minerality. I suspect the 2016s will be less consistent than 2015 but offer higher highs, particularly for those who prefer classic vintages. (832 views) | | | Tasted by the godfather on 6/17/2018: Tons of acid and very very tropical (746 views) | | | Tasted by JOsgood on 6/16/2018: Super tropical. Not sure how I feel about this vintage of a wine that I have liked in the past. (944 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier94 on 4/1/2018 & rated 88 points: classic profile; lemony citrus, Bartlett pear infused with flinty, saline-like minearlity. Some white florality comes about with air time. Fresh and mouthwatering on the palate. Salty finish. This shows nice detail and charm at its level. (677 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 7/17/2017: Visite au Domaine Christian Moreau Père & Fils (2017): en 2016, il n'y a pas de Chablis Villages de la propriété, que du négoce.
Celui-ci offre un nez exotique, une bouche assez riche, trop à mon goût. Bonne présence en bouche, c'est quand même vif, mais un peu trop exotique pour moi. (1362 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 4/28/2017: Domain Tasting-2015 Christian Moreau Chablis (Chablis, France): And one 2016 for the road tasted out of cask. Wow, what different structure than the balanced but rich 2015's! Lime, very lean, frankly salty, brisk. Acid haters need not apply. This one taste took me back to the good old days of average, pre-global warming Chablis, say 1999 or something of that ilk. I'm curious about how the rest of the range will turn out, but this particular wine will be a shock to many younger palates. (1178 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)

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."
