Origin
Country: France
Region and Appellation: Burgundy Chablis
Product Description
From the renowned Domaine Christian Moreau, this Chablis 1er Cru Vaillon 2022 exemplifies the purity and mineral intensity of Burgundy’s northernmost appellation. Sourced from 60-70-year-old vines rooted in Kimmeridgian clay-limestone, this wine balances power with finesse.
Tasting Profile
A pale gold hue introduces aromas of white blossom, citrus zest, and wet stone, evolving into flavors of peach, quince, and honeysuckle. The palate is crisp yet textured, with lively acidity (pH 3.2) and a creamy mid-palate from subtle oak aging (15% new). The finish is long and saline, echoing Chablis’ maritime heritage.
