Louis Moreau Chablis

Louis Moreau Chablis

Domaine Louis Moreau is a 50-hectare estate based in the heart of the Chablis appellation. Louis and his wife Anne founded the domain in 1994 and own parcels in four of Chablis’ seven grand cru climats. All of Louis’ decisions in the vineyard and cellar are meant to bring out the personality of each terroir.

Vineyards are farmed lutte raisonnée with some of the premier cru and grand cru vineyards in conversion to organic. Petit Chablis and Chablis are machine-harvested while the premier and grand crus are hand-harvested. The wines are vinified and aged in stainless steel tanks and receive a light filtration before bottling.

Wine Production

Fermentation is spontaneous, and vinification is in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit. Chablis goes through 100% malolactic fermentation and ages ten months on the fine lees before bottling.

Tasting Notes

Chablis achieves its highly distinctive mineral character due to its cool northerly climate and its highly calcareous soil. The Domaine Louis Moreau Chablis is fruity and vivid, with floral notes and hints of apple and pear. Bright acidity, with minerality and a palate balanced by roundness and finesse.

Food Pairing

Louis Moreau Chablis pairs beautifully with fresh oysters or delicate white fish dishes, highlighting its crisp minerality and citrus notes.
