(828 views) | | | Tasted by Mazy on 11/23/2023 & rated 91 points: Suivi les conseils d’un collègue sur CT. Carafé d’emblée 30 minutes: l’aération a vraiment placé ce vin à son avantage, beaucoup plus expressif que la dernière fois. J’adore cette cuvée du domaine, sans prétention mais tellement typé Chablis et constante. (811 views) | | | Tasted by CHINACAT on 10/14/2023 & rated 91 points: Lemon, orange peel and stone, rich and velvety, but bright and fresh. Very good now, with time to go. (759 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 9/29/2023: Belle texture ronde, crayeuse, un fruité pur et invitant. De plus en plus minéral et salin après trois heures d’aération, il montre alors sa vraie nature. (894 views) | | | Tasted by Bigdong on 9/25/2023 & rated 90 points: 酒庄不行 (866 views) | | | Tasted by Mazy on 9/22/2023 & rated 89 points: Bu sur 2 soirs. Bouteille inégale, meilleure le 2e soir. Impression de sucre résiduel, le vin coupe court. Serait-il en train de se refermer? (972 views) | | | Tasted by ant-1 on 3/31/2023: WoW. Salon et floral au nez, très agréable. En bouche pêche peu mûre puis coquillage et une rétro en salinité tellement classique et longue comme un grand cru. (1352 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 3/4/2023: 2023 La Paulee Grand Tasting of 2020 Burgundy (Pier 60, New York): Pale green. Low pitched orange. Elegant medium weight with good depth of fruit, intensity, and soil, but low in acidity. Still, a fine Premier Cru. (1800 views) | | | Tasted by RobinTeo on 2/3/2023 & rated 92 points: Opening salvo to kick off the evening of burgs. Ripe stone fruit, flint and almonds on the opening translating into chalk, lime zest and stone fruit on the palate. Lovely body actually, good density and roundness whilst immensely fresh. Finish quite saline and viscous - I went 2019 Chablis and thankfully wasn't too far off. (1027 views) | | | Tasted by Michael Mackenzie on 1/27/2023 & rated 90 points: Colour: med gold surprisingly, bright, clear
Nose: full, fresh, ripe stone fruit, mealy notes but elegant .
Taste: light body, rounded, good fruit, quite forward and ripe, med finish, elegant, stone fruits, chalky hints.
Overall, no wet dog Chablis notes here. Quite an opulent wine already now characterised by the stone fruit flavours and well integrated acidity for this lieu dit. (915 views) | | | Tasted by bjlcrucrazy on 12/8/2022 & rated 94 points: This was really delicious with great brininess, oyster shell. Had at the Cracked Conch Grand Caymen with pistachio encrusted Mahi Mahi (1005 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 12/1/2022: Souper-dégustation Domaine Christian Moreau & fils (Restaurant Chez Sophie): Nez de melon frais. Le vin est dense et assez tendu, avec une belle profondeur. Encore enrobé, doté d'une bonne concentration et d'un équilibre admirable. Beaucoup de vin dans le verre. (1109 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 11/1/2022 & rated 92 points: Un Vaillon (sans le s) d'une concentration exceptionnelle sur ce millésime. Avec un léger perlant à l’ouverture, le vin est dense et profond, tendu, complet. Jeune bien sûr mais déjà impressionnant. Il sera dur de l'attendre mais récompensera une attente de quelques années. 92+ pts (886 views) | | | Tasted by Jtgjesvik on 10/29/2022 & rated 92 points: Intens- aroma av mineraler, flint, sitrus. Høy syre, medium alkohol, medium fylde. Flint og mineraler på smak med en laang finish med innslag av sitrus. (547 views) | | | Tasted by Mazy on 10/16/2022 & rated 92 points: Quel vin! Je pensais essayer un vin trop jeune mais agréable. Mais non: il est déjà exceptionnel et super équilibré. (840 views) | | | Tasted by Jtgjesvik on 9/21/2022 & rated 92 points: Intens aroma med sitrus, fersken, mineraler, flint. Helt syre, medium alkohol, medium+ fylde, mye mineraler og fersken på smak. God smaksintensitet og lang finish. (477 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/21/2022 & rated 89 points: Les Portes d'Or de la Bourgogne - Les Grands Jours de Bourgogne (Chablis France): Walk around tasting. Delicately floral with apple and citrus zest. Good enough weight, classically bright and chalky. Good already now through 2030. (1081 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 3/21/2022 & rated 92 points: Domaine Christian Moreau aux Grands Jours de Bourgogne (Chablis): Belle profondeur et puissance.

| Domaine Christian Moreau Père et Fils Producer website
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)

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
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."
