Chablis “Gloire de Chablis”
With a deep knowledge of the soils and subsoils in Chablis, J. Moreau & Fils is easily able to identify the shade and character in each terroir, to reveal the richness and complexity within each new vintage. This cuvée “Gloire de Chablis” is a tribute to the relics of Saint-Martin formerly protected and honored in the ancient Monastery of St-Loup in Chablis.
Wine Production
The grapes and must were brought in and went through a long pneumatic pressing to get a qualitative juice with no risk of oxidation. Then, it was left to settle in order to clean it up from the biggest lees. That step is quite essential to ensure pure aromas and a bright color. The alcoholic fermentation used selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures to preserve a maximum of fruit. To get a wine in the purest J.Moreau & Fils style, it will go through the complete malolactic fermentation and age on its lees for 8 months.
Tasting Notes
Elegant pale gold. The nose is intense and fruity, with notes of mandarin, pineapple, and fresh almonds. The palate is fresh, generous, with a pleasant minerality and a long saline finish.
Food Pairing
This wine will perfectly emphasize any type of seafood, such as fatty fish (salmon or bluefin tuna), sushi and sashimi. Also a great companion to poultry, goat cheeses, as well as fresh and light refined cheese.

About the Vineyard
Located in the north of Burgundy, in Yonne department, the appellation stretches over around 20 communes that cover the hillsides running alongside the pretty Serein Valley. The vineyard enjoys an exceptional geological situation. The main bedrock comes from the Jurassic epoch, or more precisely the Kimmeridgean age (150 million years ago). Deposits of tiny oysters can still be found today in the rock, remains of a time where the sea was totally covering this territory.
