Wine from Chablis

Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: Only a slight quiver of smokiness intrudes on the wet chalk and lemon nose of this wine. The palate is striking in its serenity and balance, an apt representation of the ripe 2018 vintage. It offers immense juiciness but...

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...

Decanter, 97 points: This comes from two parcels, facing east and south-west, respectively, making a very tidy 2.5ha in total. Showing the delicate touch of one of the very best winemakers in Chablis, this is a saline, focused, wonderfully...

Burghound, 95 points: (92-95 points) Once again there is just enough wood to notice framing the green fruit, quinine, algae and ocean breeze-inflected aromas. The mouth feel of the big, bold and robust flavors is muscular and serious while...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Cooling, mossy chalkiness plays on this wine's nose, despite the heat of 2018. The palate then displays juicy roundness in the form of ripe, yellow pear pervading chalky depth. Rich lemon-peel notes create contour and add...

Burghound, 92 points: (90-92 points) Aromatically this is similar to the regular cuvée with two exceptions, which are that the mildly exotic aromas are riper and are trimmed in enough wood to merit mentioning. As is always the case there is...

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...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Subtle smoke wraps itself around light notions of ripe Mirabelle on this wine's nose. Gentleness also defines the palate where well-captured ripeness is met with smoothest texture and a little smokiness, all illuminated...

Burghound, 92 points: (90-92 points) This is also quite cool with its restrained, airy and more elegant nose that features notes of mineral reduction, oyster shell and white flowers. The racy and beautifully well-delineated middle weight...

Burghound, 94 points: (92-94 points) An exuberantly fresh and cool and mildly exotic nose offers up unmistakable Chablis character that includes sea breeze, iodine and oyster shell along with an abundance of citrus elements. There is equally...

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...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: This wine's intriguing nose combines rich candlewax with bright lemon oil. The palate is rounded and smooth, with buffered freshness on the midpalate. It is here that the sense of chalky depth comes in, conveying a stony...

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...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Subtle pear, hazelnut and lemon shimmer on this wine's shy nose. The palate brings in roundness and ripeness, think luscious Mirabelle with a touch of honey. Juicy and ripe lemon pervades all with its freshness while a...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: (93-94 points) Beautiful grapefruit and lime pith with lemon and a burst of gunflint and mineral spark. The focus is extremely tight, which is amazing in 2018. There’s a big hold of fruit mid-palate, then a super pithy...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: The richness of oak expresses itself as the scent of roasted hazelnut on this wine's nose. Smooth and rounded, the palate can handle the oaky resonance that sets the tone. An edge of honey is balanced by lemony...

Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: Toasty, nutty richness lays itself like a warming blanket over this wine's nose, but underneath some ripe, lemon-edged stonefruit peeps through promisingly. The palate is still dominated by that toasty sheen, but it is...

Wine & Spirits, 92 points: Mellow up front, this wine slowly reveals its powerful concentration as it releases flavor. The leesiness carries notes of barley and corn, then the wine tenses up, transitioning through nutty flavors and herbal scents of...

Burghound, 90 points: (88-90 points) There is excellent Chablis character and especially so for the vintage along with notes of apple, pear and floral scents. The nicely concentrated medium weight flavors possess good volume and punch before...

jamessuckling.com, 91 points: A more refined nose with restrained stony and chalky aromas, as well as bright citrus and peaches. A very nicely crafted palate texture with good depth and very nicely placed acidity. Drink now.

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...
