Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Golden in color with a very fruity bouquet of lime and pineapple, with a mild mineral hint. Very fresh in the attack with pronounced fruit, a dense structure and a long-lasting, smooth finish.

Serve as an aperitif or with oysters, seafood, and fish. Also perfect with white meats

Professional Ratings

  • 91
    The 2012 J. Moreau & Fils Chablis is simply beautiful, unadorned and pure, the wine exhibits a lively personality. One could grill some prawns and have a great time with this wine. Light straw, green color; zesty ripe apple, bright, honeysuckle aroma, quite fragrant and almost penetrating; medium bodied, bright on the palate; dry, well balanced, active acidity, beautiful green apple flavors, with a trace of minerality, medium to long finish, crisp finish. (Tasted: June 26, 2015, San Francisco, CA)

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

Burgundy, France

The source of the most racy, light and tactile, yet uniquely complex Chardonnay, Chablis, while considered part of Burgundy, actually reaches far past the most northern stretch of the Côte d’Or proper. Its vineyards cover hillsides surrounding the small village of Chablis about 100 miles north of Dijon, making it actually closer to Champagne than to Burgundy. Champagne and Chablis have a unique soil type in common called Kimmeridgian, which isn’t found anywhere else in the world except southern England. A 180 million year-old geologic formation of decomposed clay and limestone, containing tiny fossilized oyster shells, spans from the Dorset village of Kimmeridge in southern England all the way down through Champagne, and to the soils of Chablis. This soil type produces wines full of structure, austerity, minerality, salinity and finesse.

Chablis Grands Crus vineyards are all located at ideal elevations and exposition on the acclaimed Kimmeridgian soil, an ancient clay-limestone soil that lends intensity and finesse to its wines. The vineyards outside of Grands Crus are Premiers Crus, and outlying from those is Petit Chablis. Chablis Grand Cru, as well as most Premier Cru Chablis, can age for many years.
