Introduction

For one week, cumulating at the Trois Glorieuses, we committed ourselves to uncovering vinous and epicurean pleasures in the villages of Burgundy.

All 2009s were tasted before malo. Most 2008s were tasted out of barrels, malo completed.

Flight 1 - Domaine Louis Moreau (5 Notes)

Delicate balance of minerals, fruit and acidity. Feminine and pure wines.

  • 2008 Domaine Louis Moreau Chablis

    France, Burgundy, Chablis

    Expressive first nose of fresh lime, then peaches and minerals. Simple palate of citrus and minerals. Medium acidity, clean finish with medium length. Uncomplicated and enjoyable.
