Awarded 2 stars by the French wine guide RVF, Domaine Christian Moreau is one of Chablis’ top names, shaping some of the region’s purest expressions. With a strong foothold in the Grand Cru vineyards, this prestigious estate has been on a steady rise. The reasons are clear: organic farming, increasingly precise aging, and an unwavering commitment to quality have pushed it to the highest level.

Now led by Fabien Moreau, the wines have gained even more finesse and precision. The oak is used sparingly, allowing the wine’s bright acidity and crisp minerality to shine while bringing just enough depth and texture. This is a benchmark estate, firmly established among Chablis’ finest.
