A steep-slope Grand Cru with quiet depth and evolving precision.
The 2023 Chablis Grand Cru ‘Blanchot’ from Domaine Christian Moreau Père et Fils is sourced from a minuscule 0.10-hectare parcel perched near the top of the Blanchot slope. With its cooler, east-facing exposure and white limestone soils, this site brings a poised, elegant profile to the domaine’s lineup of Grands Crus.
In 2023, the wine shows a floral and exotic-tinged nose—passionfruit, white orchard fruits, and a touch of quinine—lifted by finely judged oak. It’s richer and more voluminous than expected from such a cool site, yet still grounded by minerality. While already expressive, it promises greater depth with time in bottle.
Drink from 2030+. Chardonnay. Aged partially in oak. Serve with butter-poached lobster, turbot with fennel, or white asparagus.

Very rich, even plush, medium-bodied flavors... more depth should reasonably develop if given a chance
Domaine Christian Moreau is a historic name in Chablis, with the current generation led by Christian Moreau and his son Fabien Moreau, who carry on the family’s legacy. With nearly 8 hectares of Grand Cru holdings out of Chablis’ total 92 hectares, this small but exceptional estate has become one of the leading producers of Chablis, consistently crafting remarkable wines. Although their holdings in Petit, Village, and Premier Cru Chablis are relatively small, the estate’s true highlights lie in its Grand Cru vineyards. They own approximately 3 hectares in Les Clos, 0.41 hectares in Clos des Hospices dans Les Clos, as well as smaller holdings in Valmur, Blanchots, and Vaudésir. Domaine Christian Moreau continues to produce must-try wines from the classic climats of Chablis.
These exceptional vineyard sites, combined with old vines, meticulous winemaking and careful attention to every step of production, have resulted in wines that are widely regarded as some of the finest in Chablis.
In the vineyard, they employ ploughing, organic fertilisers, and have maintained a pesticide-free environment since 2004, alongside daily care to prevent disease. Since 2005, they have transitioned to organic agriculture across the vineyard, achieving Ecocert certification with the 2013 vintage. This commitment to sustainability has further enhanced the expression of their vineyards.
Harvesting is done entirely by hand, with careful selection of grapes before pressing. Vinification relies solely on natural yeasts, with a balanced use of oak barrels and stainless steel tanks to highlight each wine's unique expression. They implement a comprehensive yield management strategy to enhance grape concentration and showcase the terroir. With investments in new tanks and other winemaking techniques, their cellar is equipped for separate vinification of each parcel accurately represent terroir. The results are evident in each vintage.
The wines of Domaine Christian Moreau Pere et Fils are known for their precision, clear typicity and elegance. They have the ability to age gracefully while providing immense pleasure throughout their lives Fabien Moreau, who took over as winemaker in 2002, has already made a significant impact. With previous experience in New Zealand and a deep respect for terroir, Fabien is a visionary winemaker. The wines of Christian Moreau Pere et Fils are authentic, distinctive and of exceptional quality.
