Tasting Notes

WE94
Coming from what is often seen as the grandest of the Grand Cru, this is a powerful and rich wine. Steel and minerality go with dense ripe citrus and apple fruits that are touched with wood spice. The wine is a gorgeous mix of fruit and structure. Drink from 2018. Cellar Selection.
WA92
The 2012 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos is the domaine’s largest production: just under 3 hectares that start at the bottom of the hill and go all the way up to forest at the top. It is harvested three times: bottom, middle and top, subsequently fermented separately and then blended together. It is much more closed on the nose compared to the other grand crus from Christian Moreau, tight-lipped and refusing to come out and play despite rigorous coaxing. Tant pis! The palate is fresh and more active than the aromatics, with touches of lemon curd and dried apricot, nicely judged acidity, and a compact finish. Drink 2016-2026.
