2008 Valmur Chablis Grand Cru - Domaine Christian Moreau

Bright lemon, crushed oyster shell, fresh sliced cucumber. Barely ripe white nectarine, leesy complexity, intense chalky minerality. Energetic, brash, and assertive - almost screaming "PAY ATTENTION" right into your face. Completely captivating and absolutely worthy of its Grand Cru designation. This 2008 Valmur Chablis Grand Cru by Domaine Christian Moreau is a winner!

The Grand Cru vineyard of Valmur is considered by many to produce some of the most powerful, age worthy expressions of Chardonnay in Chablis and beyond. The 2008 vintage was marked by low yields and very concentrated fruit, as this wine surely exhibits. It was produced by Domaine Christian Moreau, a family run operation considered one of the leading producers in Chablis. All these things come together perfectly in this bottle to create one of the most enjoyable bottles of Chardonnay we have experienced in a long time. Bravo!
