Christian Moreau Chablis Grand Cru 'Les Clos' 2023 - 750ml

95pts Jasper Morris

Blended last week. A glowing lemon and lime colour. A complex and classy nose, with a little touch of coconut on top of the crushed oyster shells. Floral too but not honeyed. Good grip to this, with the requisite tension, the oak not fully blended in yet, making for a butterier finish. Drink from 2027-2036. Tasted Jun 2024.
Barrel Sample: 92-95

94pts James Suckling

An expressive and exuberant white showing aromas of pears, sliced green apples and chalk. Round, saline and medium- to full-bodied on the palate, with good chalky notes and a long finish that’s slightly creamy at the end.

92pts Wine Spectator

This is a ripe style, revealing a flash of pineapple, along with peach, mirabelle plum and melon, plus a hint of seashore. Unfolds effortlessly on the palate. Fresh finish. Drink now through 2033.

91pts Vinous

The 2023 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a neutral, stony nose that is outperformed by the Valmur this year. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Fresh clementines intermix with gooseberry and red apple notes. It is quite peppery and admirably persistent toward the finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle.

Winemaker Notes

This is the most famous Grand Cru of Chablis, complex, massive, very mineral with a remarkablefiness and a beautiful structure.

Pairs perfectly with scallops, lobster, fine fish, white meat, cheeses.
