The Moreau family was founded in Chablis in the early 20th century: the first parcels were bought in 1904 (Clos des Hospices). It now spans 65 hectares, covering several different appellations in Chablis. The domain also owns several grands crus, including one monopole. Since 1994, Louis Moreau, who represents the 6th generation, is at the helm of this family domain. The wines offer good value for money.

This estate is one of the most impressive in Chablis. Owning more than 65 hectares, spread across the greatest appellations of Chablis terroir, it produces profound and acclaimed wines. This Chablis Grand Cru Valmur comes from a plot of Chardonnay covering about a hectare. The estate replanted vines of this prestigious regional variety between 1966 and 1968.
Facing towards the south and south-west, this plot of land sits on a limestone soil from the Kimmeridgian era, known for creating wines with high minerality and powerful tension. However, the exposure towards the sun brings ripeness to the grapes, giving these wines a sun-kissed touch. The sun’s warmth compensates for the chilliness of the Chablis terroirs and makes the wines extremely easy to drink. So, here is a quite respectable wine which should be enjoyed after a few years in the cellar accompanying a wonderful plate of goats’ cheese, for example.
