2022 Domaine Christian Moreau Blanchots Chablis Grand Cru

Domaine Christian Moreau is one of the most respected names in Chablis blessed with magnificent vineyard holdings in the best areas of Chablis. The highlights are undoubtedly the amazing range of Grand cru vineyards including one single holding of approximately 3 hectares in Les Clos as well as 0.41 hectares of Clos des Hospices dans Les Clos plus slightly smaller holdings in Valmur, Blanchots and Vaudesir. The wines are gaining in even clearer expression with the vineyards having been certified organic since 2013 and together with some new tanks and other investments the results are showing clearly in the wines with each vintage. These are wines of precision, crystal clear typicity, and elegance that will age classically while enabling tremendous enjoyment throughout their lives.

Other Reviews....
Discreet but not imperceptible wood sets off ripe liqueur-like aromas of spiced pear, acacia blossom and moderate Chablis typicity. There is excellent richness and mid-palate density to the relatively powerful mineral-driven flavors that deliver fine length on the sappy bitter lemon-inflected finale. This delicious effort could use better depth so a few years of keeping should be beneficial. Drink through 2030+.

The 2022 Chablis Blanchot Grand Cru is definitely a step up from the Vaudésir: more mineralité and terroir expression, a greater sense of nascent energy. The palate is tensile with a leesy entry, white stone fruit, a little peachier on the finish than I recollect from barrel. Fine length. This is a Blanchot that should age with style. Drink 2025-2045.

One and a half barrels, in wood until now but will finish in wine globes. Fresh pale yellow, a light note from the oak, but well integrated, with perhaps a little warmth at the back. The white flowers are present but a bit subdued at the moment. This should all come together though. Acidity is fine. Drink from 2028-2038.
