Winemaker Notes
Pale gold in color. Intense and fruity, with aromas of mandarin and pineapple on a soft background of fresh almonds. Fresh and generous, very typical of its appellation, showing a very pleasing minerality. The finale is long-lasting and saline, perfect to emphasize any type of seafood.
Pairs well with a fatty fish (salmon or bluefin tuna), sushi, sashimi, or with poultry meat. It Will also perfectly match with Asian or exotic food. Try it also with goat cheeses, as well as French Beaufort, Comté, or with matured cheddars.

Decanter
That lovely struck match aroma mingled with delicate blossom, pear and apple and a salty crunch of citrus acidity.

COMMENTARY: 2018 J. Moreau & Fils Chablis is unusually rich for an AOC, and that surprised me. Yet, it is nicely balanced and finishes well. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers ripe apple aromas and flavors that last long into the wine's finish. Pair it with Dungeness crab with romaine and red leaf in a drizzle of lemon, lime, and cold-pressed, extra virgin olive oil. (Tasted: June 15, 2020, San Francisco, CA)
