The history of J. Moreau & Fils began in 1814, when the cooper Jean-Joseph Moreau married the daughter of a Chablis winegrower and took over one of the village’s oldest wine houses. He developed the business into a major producer in the region. Today, the house is internationally renowned for its terroir-driven Chardonnays, which precisely express the diverse soils and vineyards of Chablis.
Pale golden yellow. On the nose, ripe peach, apricot and citrus fruits are evident, accompanied by floral, menthol and distinctly mineral notes. On the palate, the wine is fresh, concentrated and well-structured, with juicy fruit, a delicate creaminess and a long finish characterised by grapefruit and salty minerality.
Alcoholic fermentation takes place under temperature control to preserve the Chardonnay’s freshness and fruitiness. Depending on the Premier Cru parcel, the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks or, in some cases, in oak, and refined on the fine lees for several months.
The grapes come from classified Premier Cru vineyards on both sides of the River Serein around Chablis. Limestone-rich Kimmeridgian soils containing fossilised mussel shells, combined with the cool climate, characterise the wine’s pronounced minerality, freshness and length.
