Chablis meets Alpine clarity — J. Moreau Mont de Milieu 2019

Tasting Notes

Pour it: pale gold with faint green hues — subtle, refined.
On the nose: bruised Granny Smith apple skin, orchard fruit (pear, white peach), citrus pith, white rose petal and gardenia flowers.
On the palate: a full-bodied Chablis that doesn’t shy away — orchard and citrus upfront, a saline minerality backing it, hazelnut notes, finish long with clean Kimmeridgian chalk character.
This is Chardonnay that knows its terroir.

Meet the Winemaker

J. Moreau & Fils has been working Burgundy’s Chablis terroirs since 1814. The Mont de Milieu vineyard lies on the right bank of the Serein, with soil and exposure comparable to Grand Cru sites. Their style? Long pneumatic pressing, controlled fermentation in stainless steel, followed by aging on fine lees for 12 months to retain freshness and complexity.

Critic Reviews

• Wine Enthusiast – 92 pts: “Round and rich, this wine presents bruised Granny Smith apple skin, fresh orchard fruit, citrus pith, white rose petal and gardenia flowers. It is complete, with a lingering saline and hazelnut finish.”

• Retail listing: “Light gold color with a complex nose showing flavors of white flowers and white fruits (peach)… unctuous in the mouth … long, rich and quite saline finish.”

Food Pairings

• Roasted sea bass or grilled sea bream with lemon & herbs — the wine’s minerality and acidity match beautifully.

• Oysters or scallops with light beurre blanc — Chablis that slays.

• Chicken or veal in a creamy white-wine sauce with mushrooms — richness meets clarity.

• Goat cheese with honey and walnuts — texture and contrast.

• Light pasta with lemon zest, basil & olive oil — freshness all around.
