2020 Domaine Christian Moreau Père et Fils Chablis Grand Cru "Les Clos", Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

"Le Clos" is the most famous appellation of Chablis. This Grand Cru has a south exposure and a soil from the Kimmeridgien era, very rocky limestone intermixed with dense, white clays.

Our big parcel of 3 ha in one big piece, goes from the bottom of the hill, nearly up to the top, which allows us to divide it in three different parcels (the bottom, the middle and the top). They are always vinified separately but blended all together at the end to make one cuvée. The average age of the vines is 50 to 60 years old.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Our family is keeping alive a tradition that has lasted for six generations.

We own 12 hectares of Chablis Grand Cru (Les Clos, Clos des Hospices which is a Moreau family exclusivity, Valmur, Vaudésir, Blanchot), Chablis 1er Cru Vaillon, Chablis and Petit Chablis. The Domaine’s modern and functional building is set up in the very heart of the Chablis country, at the foot of its famous Grands Crus vineyards.

We respect Chablis’ vineyard terroir, the only one of its kind in the world and work in a rational way to maintain our grapevines and soil, applying a comprehensive strategy for effective yield management.

Our winemaking techniques should strive to honor the high quality of our terroir, vines and grapes, bringing out the very best in every harvest. All our grapes are hand-picked, from our Petit Chablis up to our Grands Crus.
