Domaine Christian Moreau, Chablis 1er Cru (Burgundy, France) 2016

 Fabien Moreau, the current winemaker, says that this portion of their plot in the Vaillon vineyard was planted by his grandfather, Guy, 83 years ago and contain the oldest vines of their estate.  Located on the steepest part of the slope, the vines have excellent exposure and drainage.  An extraordinary wine, which could pass for many producers’ Grand Cru, their 2016 displays an impeccable balance of freshness, energy and stony minerality.  The finish is seemingly endless and you are left with the delightful mouth-watering sensation that demands another sip.
