Domaine Christian Moreau Pere & Fils is a renowned winery in the Chablis region of France, known for its dedication to producing high-quality Chardonnay wines. The Vaillons Chablis Premier Cru is crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes, sourced from the esteemed Vaillons vineyard, which is celebrated for its Kimmeridgian limestone soils that impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity and freshness of the fruit, followed by a period of aging that may include a portion in oak barrels to add complexity and depth. This wine exhibits a vibrant flavor profile with notes of green apple, citrus, and a hint of flint, balanced by a crisp acidity and a long, elegant finish. It pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, particularly oysters and shellfish, as well as creamy cheeses.

The 2019 Vaillons Chablis Premier Cru is bright and precise, with aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, and crushed stones. The palate is medium-bodied, with a fine balance of fruit and acidity.

The 2019 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru has a gorgeous, intense bouquet of orange blossom, lemon verbena and light flinty scents, all beautifully defined. The palate is well balanced: quite extravagant for a Vaillon, yet tensile and edgy. It fans out wonderfully on the finish. Excellent.
