J. Moreau & Fils Chablis (75cl, 12.5%)

A village-level Chablis from Burgundy, made from 100% Chardonnay by J. Moreau & Fils, founded in 1814. The grapes undergo long pneumatic pressing, followed by settling to remove heavy lees. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 18-20°C, followed by complete malolactic fermentation and eight months of ageing on fine lees. The nose shows mandarin, pineapple, fresh almond and crushed limestone. The palate brings green apple, Meyer lemon, juicy pear, ripe Mirabelle plum, flinty saline minerality and grapefruit acidity. The finish is long-lasting and saline, with bright lemon.
