Burghound, October 2011

Almost invisible wood influence allows the white flower, spiced pear, sea breeze and citrus-infused aromas to shine. The rich, full and serious flavors possess excellent concentration as well as ample amounts of Les Clos' hallmark minerality on the detailed, energetic and explosive finish. This harmonious beauty remains relatively understated in the context of the most powerful appellation in Chablis.

The 2009 Chablis Les Clos is fabulous. This seamless wine caresses the palate from start to finish, with fine, silky tannins that support layers of seamless fruit. Round, sweet and harmonious, the 2009 Les Clos impresses for its fabulous sense of harmony and impeccable finish. Hints of jasmine and light floral honey inform the close. The Clos was aged 40% in oak. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. -AG

Full lemon-yellow color. Rather cool aromas of dusty stone, lemon and ginger. Juicier and firmer in the mouth than the more massive Valmur, with a light dusting of minerals lifted by lovely floral and spice perfume. The tight, dry, slowly building finish features very good grip and considerable class.

A taut, steely, very mineral wine, showing a tense, textured character. Fruit flavors run from grapefruit to peach, with a delicious tang of zest along the way. With its acidity and structure, this is a wine for long-term aging. -R.V.

About Winery

In 1814, Jean Joseph Moreau, a "tonnelier" from Montbard, founded the wine-merchant and trading firm, J. Moreau et Fils, in Chablis.However, the family sold half the shares in 1974 and the other half in 1985, thereby no longer having any control.  That reversed with the 2002 vintage, the Christian Moreau family regained their full rights, not only to exploit their own vineyards, but also to make and market the wines belonging to their Domaine.

Fabien, a member of the sixth generation of the family to be involved in winemaking, obtained his National Degree in Oenology in Dijon and a Masters in Business Administration at the E.N.I.T.A in Bordeaux. In December 2001, Fabien returned to Chablis and took over as Managing Director and Head Winemaker at the Domaine Christian Moreau Pere et Fils.
