2025 Domaine Christian Moreau Petit Chablis

Domaine Christian Moreau is one of the most respected names in Chablis blessed with magnificent vineyard holdings in the best areas of Chablis. The highlights are undoubtedly the amazing range of Grand cru vineyards including one single holding of approximately 3 hectares in Les Clos as well as 0.41 hectares of Clos des Hospices dans Les Clos plus slightly smaller holdings in Valmur, Blanchots and Vaudesir. The wines are gaining in even clearer expression with the vineyards having been certified organic since 2013 and together with some new tanks and other investments the results are showing clearly in the wines with each vintage. These are wines of precision, crystal clear typicity, and elegance that will age classically while enabling tremendous enjoyment throughout their lives.

The Petit Chablis vines are located at the top of the hill of Grand Crus only metres from the Grand cru Valmur, with another very small 0.4 hectare planting also at the crest of the hill of Grand Crus (just above Vaudesir) that the Moreau family have planted more recently.

Other Reviews...
The 2025 Petit Chablis had been bottled three weeks before my visit in June. This has a fragrant nose with lime and citrus fruit, with just a touch of nectarine. The palate is well balanced with a tangy entry, a fine thread of acidity and a lively, lychee-tinged finish. It will be difficult to resist, so why bother? Drink 2026-2030.
