2021 Domaine Christian Moreau Vaillon Cuvee Guy Moreau Chablis Premier Cru

Other Reviews....
Here there is no reductive funk to the pretty and very floral aromas of spice, pear, apple and quinine that are trimmed in more prominent wood. The old vines are very much in evidence on the concentrated, palate coating and rich bigger-bodied flavors that possess focused power on the saline and intensely bitter zest-suffused finish. This should be excellent in time. Drink through 2028+.

The 2021 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru Cuvée Guy Moreau comprises of just five used barrels this year. It has a fine bouquet, a little more mineral-driven than the regular cuvée with touches of wet pavement and citrus lemon. With good balance and acidity, the palate is fresh, taut and a little more compact towards the finish but with slightly more salinity to get the tastebuds going. Very fine. Drink 2024-2038.

Neal Martin - Vinous

This and the Grands Crus were made entirely in wood so as to keep the existing stock of barrels full of wine. Pale yellow, with a little butteriness from the wood. This slightly dominates the palate with a note of acidity to finish. Will sort itself out in due course. Drink from 2025-2028.
