Christian Moreau Les Clos Grand Cru 2022

ONE OF THE OLDEST AND MOST RESPECTED NAMES IN THE REGION, SETTING THE BENCHMARK WITH THEIR GRAND CRU CHABLIS

 

"Smelling of ripe citrus and passion fruit laced with toast, this wine is a flavor powerhouse. Lushly ripe fruits are spun by bustling acidity on the palate, keeping everything fresh and bright. Give this at least five years post-vintage to start showing its pent-up concentration. This saw 40% barrel aging with the rest in stainless steel." - Tim Atkin

 

"From a huge, and single, 2.9 ha parcel Moderate wood is present on the overtly floral-suffused nose of mostly white fleshed fruit, especially pear and apple, along with notes of citrus confit, acacia and oyster shell whiffs. There is excellent richness and concentration to the markedly powerful larger-scaled flavors that coat the palate on the overtly stony, dry and compact finale. At least moderate patience will be required as this is pretty tightly wound." - Burghound

 

"The 2022 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet with yellow plum, wet stone, hints of baked bread and pressed white flowers. Very good intensity. The palate is well-balanced with fine delineation, very good salinity and tension with superb precision towards the finish. This Les Clos doesn't want the Valmur to get all the acclaim." - Vinous

 

"A fine bright mid lemon yellow. A nobility of white fruit across the nose, with considerable intensity on the palate, more trenchant acidity perhaps, fairly full bodied and a long gracious finish. By the time this is bottled in January it should be a very fine wine. The aftertaste is already extremely promising." - Jasper Morris
