May. 22, 2012 CHRISTIAN MOREAU PÈRE & FILS Chablis 2010 (89 points, $25)
Shows equilibrium between the rich texture and vibrant structure. Green plum, apple and chalk flavors hold the center ground, with a fine, resonant finish. Best from 2013 through 2018. 2,000 cases imported. —Bruce Sanderson
While I don’t drink a ton Chardonnay, I drink more than my share of Moreau Chablis. These wines tend to fall in my sweet spot as far as value goes. While they are not exactly cheap, they are amazing wines with a fine sense of place and the verve and vividness that I look for in Chablis. Sadly, I think these wines are seeing some upward pricing pressure as people discover how good they are, so if you’re going to try them, do it soon!
Nov. 30, 2011: CHRISTIAN MOREAU PÈRE & FILS Chablis 2009 (88 points, $25)
Ripe, sporting floral and citrus aromas and flavors, this open-textured white ends with a hint of mineral. Drink now. 2,000 cases imported. —Bruce Sanderson
