Opiniones de profesionales

Millésima-usa.com This domaine, owned and managed by well-known Chablisien Christian Moreau and his son Fabien - who serves as cellar master - is making some of the finest wines in Chablis. The estate was formed in 2001 as an independent operation benefiting from Christian's share of the family's extensive vineyard holdings in such grands crus as Les Clos, Vaudésir, Blanchot and Valmur. Vines average 45 years of age across these sites, and each parcel is hand harvested and vinification takes place in tank. Ageing is carried out partially in older barrels as a rule. This magnificent 2005 Valmur, still young and with a long life ahead, has superb richness along with a frame of ripe acidity. Saying that it is "a wine of obvious class and grace," Burghound scored it a "92".
