Domaine Christian Moreau Pere et Fils owns a total of 1.25 acres within the famous Grand Cru vineyard of Vaudésir. Vaudésir is located northwest of Les Clos and shares the same hillside terroir of Kimmeridgien marl-calcium carbonate soils. For vinification, up to 40% of the final blend sees time in oak barrels. Typically just 10% of that is new oak, with the majority being two and three year old barrels.

Bright and evoking aromas and flavors of apple, melon, honey and stone, this white strikes an equilibrium between intensity and elegance. The finish is refreshing, and the aftertaste echoes stone fruit and mineral. Drink now through 2029. 500 cases made, 260 cases imported.

The 2020 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru has a backward bouquet that demands coaxing from the glass: wet pavement, pressed yellow flowers and a touch of flint. Very focused. Fresh and saline, the palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity; however, it remains quite strict and oddly like a 2021 towards the close. Give this three or four years in bottle.

There is a whiff of the exotic to the ripe aromas of yellow orchard fruit compote that reflect reasonable Chablis typicity along with a background nuance of oak toast. There is fine volume to the medium weight and discreetly mineral-inflected flavors that evidence a hint of bitter lemon on the lingering finish. This generous effort is ripe but not heavy though it would be fair to observe that it doesn't have the energy of the best in the range.
