Lanceerprijzen voor Chablis 2017 van Christian Moreau
2017 was niet alleen een schitterend jaar voor witte Bourgogne uit de Côte d'Or, maar ook in Chablis. Fabien Moreau maakte een schitterende reeks Chablis-wijnen en mag zich gerust rekenen tot de top producenten uit de streek. De prijzen blijven gezien zijn stijgende reputatie nog zeer redelijk in vergelijking met andere befaamde collega's.
CHABLIS 2017 € 15.00 (vanaf 15 Feb € 16.99)

CHABLIS 1er CRU "VAILLON" 2017 € 25.00 (vanaf 15 Feb € 28.00)
Parker: 89-91/100. The 2017 1er Cru Vaillon exhibits notes of lemon oil, green apples, bread dough and nutmeg. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, glossy and bright, with good cut and a tangy, saline finish. It's an attractive cuvée that's produced from six parcels.
Antonio Galloni's Vinous.com: 91-93/100. The 2017 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru is 40% fermented in barrel that was blended with tank wine two weeks previously. The bouquet is a little muted at the moment, possibly from the recent blending however, the palate is very promising with a killer line of acidity that lends so much tension, almost to the point of shrillness (but avoiding that – the pH is 3.19 for those interested). This just revives the senses and there is wonderful salinity on the aftertaste. Superb !
CHABLIS 1er CRU "VAILLON Cuvée Guy Moreau" 2017 € 31.00 (vanaf 15 Feb € 35.00)
Parker: 90-92/100. From the Domaine's oldest vines, the 2017 1er Cru Vaillon Cuvée Guy Moreau reveals aromas of waxy lemon rind, nutmeg and apples. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural; it is both richer and more complete than the regular Vaillon, with good energy but a more gourmand profile. This sees more wood—and more recently-used wood—though it's pretty well integrated.
Antonio Galloni’s Vinous: 92-94/100. The 2017 Chablis Vaillons Cuvée Guy Moreau 1er Cru, which comes from the oldest vines in the vineyard, is again, a little closed on the nose and tricky to read. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, a little more richness and smoothness compared to the regular bottling with gorgeous dried honey and walnut note furnishing the long finish. Superb !
CHABLIS GRAND CRU "VALMUR" 2017 € 55.00
Parker 90-92+/100. There are five barrels of the 2017 Valmur, which is also very promising, though it's quite marked by its exposure to wood, wafting from the glass with notes of nutmeg, toasted bread, spice and ripe citrus. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and layered, with good concentration, depth and cut. It's a very fine Valmur.
Antonio Galloni's Vinous.com: 93-95/100. The 2017 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru offers one of the most complex bouquets from Moreau this year: oyster shell, flint, hints of pressed yellow flower and nettle all beautifully defined. The palate is very well delineated. There is great tension here, impressive depth with an effervescent finish that leaves the mouth tingling with the energy contained in this wine. Superb !
CHABLIS GRAND CRU "LES CLOS" 2017 € 55.00
Parker: 92-94/100. The 2017 Les Clos is more integrated, exhibiting notes of lemon oil, preserved citrus, nutmeg and tart pear. On the palate, it's layered, full-bodied and structurally reserved, with good concentration and bright, mouthwatering acids.
Antonio Galloni’s Vinous: 92-94/100. The 2017 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru, which is 50% in barrel and 50% in tank when I visited, has a very composed bouquet with scents of white flower, chalk, a slight fish oil aroma that lends it an Asian influence. I love the definition here. The palate is very well balanced with a taut line of acidity, fresh and full of tension with a vivid, beautifully poised finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent !
