2023 Domaine Christian Moreau et Fils 1er Cru Vaillon Chablis
90-92 Points Allen Meadows, Burghound
"… aromas of pear, citrus rind and discreet spice nuances. There is both more volume and refinement to the nicely concentrated medium-bodied flavors that possess better depth on the equally lightly finish that offers a bit more persistence."
88-90 points - Neal Martin, Vinous.com
The 2023 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru is certainly a level up over the Village Cru. It reveals slightly more floral notes, with hints of lanolin that emerge with aeration. The palate is well-balanced, opening with a touch of honeyed richness. It is plush and pure, featuring lower acidity than the previous vintage, yet is beautifully pretty and inviting.
Winery Notes
The appellation of Vaillon is located on the left bank of Chablis. We have 6 parcels of a total area of 4,7 ha in the historical heart of the Vaillons, all exposed south/south-east.
The soil is also from the Kimmeridgien period with clay-limestone marls very rich of marine fossils, and most specifically small oyster fossils, called Exogyra Virgula.
