Domaine Christian Moreau

Christian Moreau, one of the leading figures in Chablis, is producing the wines he loves under his name. Free of any personal involvement with the negociant company that his family founded and sold, with his son Fabien, they founded Domaine Christian Moreau Pére et Fils in 2001 and set up their winemaking operation in the very heart of the Chablis country at the foot of its famous Grands Cru vineyards. Fabien Moreau became the winemaker with the 2002 vintage and is already producing remarkable results. With previous experience in New Zealand, Fabien is a visionary young winemaker who sincerely adheres to terroir tenants. The Domaine holdings are located in the best-oriented parcels. Bottlings include Grand Crus Les Clos, Valmur, Vaudésir, Blanchot, and Les Clos des Hospices (a Monopole from the Moreau family), Premier Cru Vaillon, as well as Chablis AC, and some Petit Chablis. Every parcel is harvested by hand to bring out the best from each vineyard. Moreau's winemaking philosophy is non-interventionist, entailing biodynamic practices to create low-yield, high-quality harvests. As such, the wines of Christian Moreau Pere et Fils are remarkable for their authenticity, distinctiveness, and exquisite quality.
