2022   2023  

100% Chardonnay.

An elegant pale gold colour.

The nose is intense and fruity, showing notes of mandarin and pineapple on a soft background of fresh almonds.

Fresh and generous, the mouth is very typical of Chablis, offering a very pleasant minerality and a long-lasting, saline finish.

This wine will perfectly emphasize any type of sea food such as a fatty fish (salmon or bluefin tuna), sushi and sashimi. Will also be a great companion to poultry, asian or exotic food. Try it also with goat cheeses, as well as fresh and light refined cheese.

Ideally serve between 12 and 14°C / 54-57°F.

Between 4 to 5 years.

Located in the north of Burgundy, in Yonne department, the appellation stretches over around 20 communes that cover the hillsides running alongsidethe pretty Serein Valley. The vineyard enjoys an exceptional geological situation.

The main bedrock comes from the Jurassic epoch, or more precisely the Kimmeridgean age (150 million years ago). Deposits of tiny oysters can still befound today in the rock, remains of a time where the sea was totally covering this territory.

This cuvée “Gloire de Chablis” is our tribute to the relics of Saint-Martin formerly protected and honored in the ancient Monastery of St-Loup in Chablis.

The grapes and must were brought in and went through a long pneumatic pressing to get a qualitative juice with no risk of oxydation. Then, it was left to settle in order to clean it up from the biggest lees. That step is quite essential to ensure pure aromas and a bright color. The alcoholic fermentation used selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures (18 to 20°C) to preserve a maximum of fruit.

To get a wine in the purest J.Moreau & Fils style, it will go through the complete malolactic fermentation and age on its lees for 8 months. This will give that wine we love with an intense nose of fresh fruits and a creamy texture in the mouth.

The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
