Located on the left bank of the Serein River in the Côte des Vaillons sub-region, the vineyard benefits from prime south and south-east exposures. The soil is composed of classic Kimmeridgian clay and limestone, rich in fossilized prehistoric oyster shells, which translates directly into the wine's distinct calcareous minerality and tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-harvested at optimal maturity, the fruit undergoes natural yeast fermentation with minimal cellar intervention. Winemaker Fabien Moreau ages approximately two-thirds of the wine in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve vibrant fruit purity, while the remaining third is matured in French oak barriques for six to eight months to add subtle texture and complexity. The 2025 vintage reveals an inviting nose of green apple, ripe pear, citrus rind, and delicate spice, layered over a steely wet-stone mineral core. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious balance of volume, refined acidity, and juicy stone fruit flavors, concluding with a long, saline, and precise finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Ripe, floral and mineral\u003cbr\u003eGreen apple, ripe pear, citrus zest, white flowers, subtle spice, and crushed stone minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Dry, concentrated and vibrant\u003cbr\u003eGenerous citrus and white peach fruit supported by bright acidity, elegant texture, and a chalky mineral backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and finely structured\u003cbr\u003eClean, precise, and harmonious with lingering notes of lemon pith, flint, and a persistent saline tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The 2025 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru has a strict nose with touches of yellow fruit mixed with crushed stone and green apple. It gradually unfurls but keeps its foot on the brakes. The palate is well-balanced with a peachy opening. Very harmonious on the finish, this should drink well for several years.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Neal Martin, Vinous Media, 90-92 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“A vague whiff of the exotic lurks in the background of the aromas of pear, citrus rind and discreet spice nuances. There is both more volume and refinement to the nicely concentrated medium-bodied flavors that possess better depth on the equally lightly finish that offers a bit more persistence.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, (90-92) Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Domaine Christian Moreau Père et Fils\u003cbr\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eAppellation - Chablis\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2025\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eClassification - Premier Cru\u003cbr\u003eCertification - Organic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Christian Moreau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44338054955095,"sku":"CM-VAIL-25","price":134.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/f741d4f8-a445-4080-92a6-41524b9a38ee.webp?v=1790294568","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/domaine-christian-moreau-pere-et-fils-chablis-vaillon-1er-cru-2025","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
