Domaine Christian Moreau Chablis 1er Cru Vaillon Cuvée Guy Moreau 2004
Chablis, Burgundy, FranceBright nutty floral lees and creamy citrus nose reminiscent of seashells and green apples. Dry, round, ripe and elegant in the mouth with green apple, lees, butter, lemon, anise and mineral seashell flavours. Good concentration and intensity, just a bit more intense than the normal cuvée. Fine now but this will improve over the next 1-2 years. Cuvée Guy Moreau takes its name from a 70-year-old block planted by Guy Moreau in 1934. It is 60/40 stainless steel/ barrel fermented blend with only 10 percent new wood used -- the rest is a mix of one, two and three year old barrels.Tasted: 22 November 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $39.99 | 750ml | specialty listing |
