Domaine Louis Moreau 1er Cru Vau Ligneau Chablis

Domaine Louis Moreau is a 50-hectare estate based in the heart of the Chablis appellation.  Louis and his wife Anne founded the domain in 1994 and own parcels in four of Chablis’ seven grand cru climates.  Chablis Vau Ligneau 1er Cru sits in a side valley on the left bank of the Serein and has a higher proportion of clay than other premier crus giving it a rounder profile. The name "Vau Ligneau" translates as "valley of the little brook.  Grapes are hand-harvested and vinified by spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine goes through 100% malolactic fermentation and ages 18 months on the fine lees before bottling.  

A classic Chablis profile with bright citrus (lemon zest, green apple), tropical hints (pineapple), floral notes, and prominent flinty minerality from its limestone terroir, showing a rich, full palate with vibrant acidity, creamy texture, and a long, savory finish. 12.5% ABV
