Christian Moreau
Christian Moreau is one of the oldest and most respected domains in Chablis. This branch of the Moreau family is headed by Christian and now his son Fabien who is the winemaker and manager.
Built over generations on some of the very best vineyard areas of Chablis (including nearly 8 hectares out of Chablis’ total 92 hectares of Grand cru), this small but remarkable estate has established itself as one of the leading producers in the region. The highlights here are undoubtedly the amazing range of Grand cru vineyards including one single holding of approximately 3 hectares in Les Clos as well as .41 hectares of Clos des Hospices dans Les Clos.
A combination of exceptional vineyard sites, old vines, brilliant winemaking and fastidious care in every step of production has resulted in wines of precision, crystal clear typicity, and elegance, that will age classically and provide tremendous drinking enjoyment throughout their lives.

Christian Moreau Vaillon Premier Cru 2018
Add to cart$90.00in any six
$103.00 per single bottle
A touch of reduction still plays about ripe pear notes on the nose of this wine. The palate adds hazelnut and a whiff of smoke, taming that ripeness and creating a rounded but fresh and balanced picture. It finishes with some yeasty savoriness and a hint of lemon zest. Beautiful. 92 points – Anne Krebiehl, […]

$188.00 per single bottle
Christian Moreau’s Blanchot Grand Cru is from a tiny east facing holding near the top of the hill where the vines were planted in the late 1980’s.
