Petit Chablis
J. Moreau & Fils “Les Petits Dieux” is named after the small Celtic statuettes still dotted around some of the Chablis vineyards.
Wine Production
Musts and grapes are brought into the winery for a long pressing. Once the juice is settled, the fermentation starts with the addition of selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures to preserve as much fruit as possible. In order to achieve a more supple wine, the malolactic fermentation begins 10 days after the alcoholic fermentation. The wine is then aged on partial lees for 4 to 5 months.
Tasting Notes
Pale gold, with green tints. The nose shows intense notes of mandarin and white flowers. In the mouth, the aromas of white and yellow fruits are followed by a great mineral finale.
Food Pairing
Serve as an aperitif, with oysters and fish tapas. Will also be a good companion to all fish, poultry and white meats, grilled or in creamy sauce.

About the Vineyard
The Petit Chablis area of appellation covers 1,230 ha of which approximately 1,000 ha are currently under vine. The vines grow on Portlandian limestone plateaus, with clay from the Tertiary Era. The Chardonnay grapes used to make this cuvée come from 2 areas selected for their different and complementary characteristics: the "dessus des clos" plateau, which gives the grapes a very high degree of ripeness and a lovely richness on the palate, and the Beine village plateaux, which provide freshness and subtle aromas of citrus fruit and white flowers.
