The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine 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.
Wine Grown on a sun-drenched, limestone-rich terroir from 70-year-old vines, the 2023 White Chablis Premier Cru Vaillon is a textbook expression of the appellation. It offers bright floral notes and crisp white fruit, combining ripeness with the vibrant freshness that defines great Chablis. A subtle touch of oak adds depth without overshadowing its purity, while the finish lingers with a refined mineral bitterness that brings both structure and precision. A beautifully crafted Premier Cru, built for both immediate pleasure and aging potential.
Vinification Hand harvested, grapes carefully selected on a sorting table, cold settling. Vinification and ageing in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and barrels for 8 months.

Certified organic wine. AB Ecocert certification since the 2013 vintage.
