2022 Domaine Christian Moreau et Fils Les Clos Grand Cru
93-97 points - Jasper Morris
A fine bright mid lemon yellow. A nobility of white fruit across the nose, with considerable intensity on the palate, more trenchant acidity perhaps, fairly full bodied and a long gracious finish. By the time this is bottled in January it should be a very fine wine. The aftertaste is already extremely promising.

The 2022 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet with yellow plum, wet stone, hints of baked bread and pressed white flowers. Very good intensity. The palate is well-balanced with fine delineation, very good salinity and tension with superb precision towards the finish. This Les Clos doesn't want the Valmur to get all the acclaim.

Smelling of ripe citrus and passion fruit laced with toast, this wine is a flavor powerhouse. Lushly ripe fruits are spun by bustling acidity on the palate, keeping everything fresh and bright. Give this at least five years post-vintage to start showing its pent-up concentration. This saw 40% barrel aging with the rest in stainless steel.

Rich and verging on creamy, with peach, green plum, lemon, floral and mineral flavors, this white turns leaner and more defined as the bracing acidity emerges, driving the citrus and mineral finish.
