2022 Christian Moreau Chablis Gr Cru Valmur

Half tank, half wood, will be blended very soon now. Clean clear pale lemon yellow. The nose shows a lightly salty character with a block of orchard fruit behind. This wine is massive on the palate, like a solid block of marble, with a little toast, a little citrus and a touch of salt for seasoning. Still totally youthful. This should develop extremely well. 92-95 points

The 2022 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru, which was taken from tank where it will stay until February, is the final vintage before one significantly contributing parcel was pulled up. The perfumed bouquet has yellow plum and touches of pistachio, crushed stone and a touch of wild mint. The beautifully balanced palate has a velvety texture and a fine bead of acidity, very precise, with an utterly delectable persistent finish. One of Moreau`s strongest cuvées (as usual) - not to be underestimated. 95-97 points
