Description

One of the oldest and most respected names in Chablis with superb vineyard holdings reflecting the families very long history in Chablis, this branch of the Moreau family is headed by Christian and now his son Fabien who is the winemaker and manager.

Possessing magnificent vineyard holdings built up in some of the very best vineyard areas of Chablis by the family over generations (including nearly 8 hectares out of Chablis’ total 92 hectares of Grand cru), this small but remarkable estate has in just a few years established itself as one of the leading producers of Chablis producing consistently outstanding wines.

Little valley between two other grands crus (Les Clos and Vaudesir), Valmur is definitely a terroir mainly composed of clays.

Our two parcels benefits from two exposures : 70 ares south-east and 30 ares north-east (1 ha in total).

Our vines are more than 60 years old. They produce a very full-bodied and powerful wine.

Review
The 2022 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru has a delightful bouquet with fine delineation and pixelation, real class and pedigree, pure and refined. The palate is taut and linear, understated at first, deepening towards the finish with hints of almond and lanolin. A complex and refined Valmur that is Moreau's greatest achievement in 2022. Drink 2026-2048.

Review
More evident wood frames ripe aromas of white fleshed fruit, lemon-lime, mineral reduction and a suggestion of quinine. The exceptionally rich yet intense and powerful big-bodied flash a taut muscularity on the impressively long, very dry and impeccably well-balanced finale. Drink through 2032+.
