About Domaine Christian Moreau Pere et Fils
The year 2002 marked a new start here. The Moreau family regained control of their estate vineyards, which had been out of their since 1985. Since then, Christian Moreau and his son Fabien have been producing richly flavored yet precise examples of Chablis.

($80) Pale, bright yellow. Lemon peel, peach, oyster shell and some spicy, toasty oak notes on the nose (this spent seven months in 45% barriques Round, suave and spicy in the mouth; builds slowly and maintains a very light touch, but there's plenty of concentration here in a rather feminine style. Just a touch of nutty oak on the back. Christian Moreau reminded me that acidity levels in the bottled 2008s are in the very healthy 4.8 to 5.1 grams-per-liter range, whereas the 2009s are roughly a gram lower.
