Since a law was passed in 1938, 111 hectares of south/south-western facing vines that benefit from optimal exposure to the sun and stretch out in a crescent shape along the right bank of the Serein river are entitled to bear the Chablis Grand Cru appellation. The seven single vineyards or “climats” that have contributed to the international reputation of the Chablis region’s Great White Wines are: Les Clos, Vaudésir, Valmur, Blanchot, Les Preuses, Grenouilles, and Bougros. |

From among the seven prestigious single vineyards which are all located within the commune of Chablis, Vaudésir’s 11.92 ha stretch across a “valley” at the heart of the appellation, bordering Vaudésir above it, and also Les Grenouilles and Les Clos. Its slopes enjoy exposure in many different directions and have varying altitudes which yields wines that are more diverse than those of its neighbours. Moreau’s selection concerns 2 ha of vines. |

Greenish gold in colour.
Very fresh, mineral nose reminiscent of citrus zest, lemon verbena, and mint.
Lively and forward on the palate, though still a little closed, with notes of citrus and pastry cream. Elegant finish with a hint of fine smoke. |

Excellent with seafood or fish such as salmon and turbot. Also try with white meats in cream sauce. |
