Wine from Chablis

Burghound, 90 points: (88-90 points) The fresh, ripe and softly exotic aromas are composed by notes of white fruit compote, citrus and spice. There is exceptionally good richness to the thick, even luscious medium-bodied flavors that coat the...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: The gentle nose on this wine combines the slight flintiness of reduction with ethereal dried yarrow. The palate is multi-dimensional with yeast, lemon, chalk and saltiness. Subtle texture and scented freshness are...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: This wine's nose is a picture of subtlety. Hints of blossom, chalk, pear and lemon are so tender you feel you have to sniff again and again. The palate becomes a picture of smooth, gentle harmony and depth. Freshness...

Burghound, 94 points: (92-94 points) Smoky and mildly exotic aromas consist of matchstick, iodine, algae and ripe white and yellow-fleshed fruit. The mouth feel of the middle weight flavors is even finer if perhaps not quite as dense though...

Vinous, 92 points: The 2018 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru shows a little more definition and terroir expression compared directly with the Montée de Tonnerre. Lemon peel, touches of crushed stone and dried flowers almost reluctantly emerge with...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Sweet apples and pears with some stone and flint on the nose. Full-bodied with tight, focused phenolics that frame the wine nicely and then layers of fruit and lively acidity. Nicely crafted and composed. Drinkable now...

Vinous, 93 points: (91-93 points) The 2017 Chablis Vaillons Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru is pretty, gracious and lifted, with a real sense of vertical expansiveness. In this vintage, the Vieilles Vignes is wonderfully lifted in feel. Sweet...

Decanter, 93 points: From one of the several Moreau estates – Louis is the cousin of Fabien, and there is no longer any connection with J Moreau & Fils. This is fresh, light and lemony on the nose, and elegant and stony on the palate, with a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: The 2013 Chablis Grand Cru les Preuses has a more reserved bouquet, touches of ginger infusing the citrus fruit that gain more intensity with time. The palate is fresh on the entry with a keen line of acidity, but it...

Burghound, 93 points: (91-93 points) The wood is a bit more obvious though not intrusive on the green fruit, white flower and iodine-scented aromas. The exceptionally rich full-bodied flavors also possess fine density thanks to the abundant...

Vinous, 90 points: Pale yellow. Much fresher on the nose than the Preuses, with ripe peach and powdered stone aromas complemented by spicy, vanillin oak; not exotic but still more Côte d'Or than Chablis in style. Fresh peach, lemon oil and...

Decanter, 95 points: Sold at a higher price than the domaine's straight Fourchaume because it's 'more profound', according to Didier Séguier, this comes from a Premier Cru that often makes wines of Grand Cru quality. Subtly wooded, with...

Wine & Spirits, 91 points: Louis Moreau farms 52 acres in the villages of Beines and Chablis, most of his parcels on sandy clay. He ferments this wine in stainless steel without added yeasts, then ages it on the fine lees. In 2018, he achieved a...

Burghound, 94 points: Deep golden color. A fully mature and ripe nose consists of moderately amounts of sous-bois, oatmeal and iodine, the latter of which can also be found on the impressively intense and powerful yet opulent flavors that...
