CHRISTIAN MOREAU

Burgundy En-Primeur 2022

This domaine has witnessed a stunning turnaround in the last two decades. Christian Moreau took back full control of the family’s vineyard holdings and the right to produce wine under the Moreau name, with the first vintage being in 2002. The vineyards cover 12.5 ha with 4.7 ha in the Vaillons Premier Cru and 3.4 ha in Les Clos Grand Cru. Average vine age is forty five years. Fabien Moreau has now taken over from his father and with fine tuning of picking dates, oak regimes and bottling times.

The 2022 vintage in Chablis was not without its problems; frost caused a significant loss of the potential crop, but a generous fruit set largely compensated for this. Heat stress was alleviated by the rains which came at the end of June. Picking began in the Grand Crus on September the first, only to be interrupted by a storm on the 4th. Even after the rain, fruit arrived in the cellars in pristine condition, with the resulting wines showing good typicity and balance.

VILLAGE

DOMAINE CHRISTIAN MOREAU
Chablis 2022

White | Burg 87-90

Fruity aromas of pear, apple, lychee and citrus possess just enough classic Chablis character to be interesting. There is very good richness to the generously proportioned and seductively textured flavors that offer good punch on the saliva-inducing, clean and nicely dry finale. For short to mid-term keeping.
 
$195 / bottle (750ml)   
(ETA November 2024)

PREMIER CRU

DOMAINE CHRISTIAN MOREAU
Chablis 1er Cru Vaillon 2022

White | Burg 89-92

Here too there is a whiff of lychee on the ripe aromas of white and yellow peach, white flower and zest, all of which is trimmed in discreet wood influence. The notably finer medium weight flavors possess very fine mid-palate concentration while delivering solid length on the bitter lemon, clean, dry and nicely sleek finish.
 
$330 / bottle (750ml) 
(ETA November 2024)

GRAND CRU

DOMAINE CHRISTIAN MOREAU
Chablis Vaudesir Grand Cru 2022

White | Burg 92-94

This is also aromatically cool with its pretty mix of pear confit, mineral reduction, floral and more obvious Chablis typicity. There is a really lovely sense of vibrancy to the energetic middleweight flavors that possess a gorgeous texture while exuding a fine bead of minerality on the long, dry and beautifully well-balanced finale. This is pretty much textbook Vaudésir that is very much a wine of finesse.
 
$550 / bottle (750ml) 
(ETA November 2024)
CHRISTIAN MOREAU
Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru 2022

White | Burg 92-95

Moderate wood is present on the overtly floral-suffused nose of mostly white fleshed fruit, especially pear and apple, along with notes of citrus confit, acacia and oyster shell whiffs. There is excellent richness and concentration to the markedly powerful larger-scaled flavors that coat the palate on the overtly stony, dry and compact finale. At least moderate patience will be required as this is pretty tightly wound.
