J Moreau & Fils
Brand Description
In 1814 Jean-Joseph Moreau, a young cooper, married a local winemaker’s daughter and inherited the oldest wine House of Chablis. Driven by passion for the vine and traditional values, he successfully ran the business and quickly became one of the most important producers of wine in Chablis. He was a pioneer in the region and his success continued to rise. Over the years, J. Moreau & Fils established itself on the international market and became a prestigious House, successful worldwide. Since 1814, J. Moreau & Fils has been rising to the challenge of the Chablis terroir to bring out the very best of its single grape varietal, Chardonnay, in pursuit of its signature white wines that are complex, elegant, and precisely balanced.
Location of Vineyard
Crossed by the Serein, the vineyard of Chablis was truly flourishing in the 12th century thanks to the Cistercian monks who proved their passion and skills in crafting great wines. And it is both a glorious and unfortunate destiny that the vineyard has experienced since that time. Totally destroyed by the phylloxera in 1893, the vineyard was completely recovered and now stands as a nature’s masterpiece. The specific soil of the Chablis vineyard, inherited from the presence of the sea in the Mesozoic era, gives the wine a iodine hint and a particular mineralty that seduces the whole world.
