Louis Moreau Petit Chablis
Wine Description
Domaine Louis Moreau is a 50-hectare estate based in the heart of the Chablis appellation. Louis and his wife Anne founded the domain in 1994 and own parcels in four of Chablis’ seven grand cru climats. All of Louis’ decisions in the vineyard and cellar are meant to bring out the personality of each terroir.
Vineyards are farmed lutte raisonnée with some of the premier cru and grand cru vineyards in conversion to organic. Petit Chablis and Chablis are machine-harvested while the premier and grand crus are hand-harvested. The wines are vinified and aged in stainless steel tanks and receive a light filtration before bottling.

Analytical Data
Wine Production
Louis uses cultured yeast for fermentation and vinification is in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit. Petit Chablis goes through 100% malolactic fermentation and ages four months on the fine lees before bottling.
About the Vineyard
Petit Chablis comes from the sandy-Portlandian limestone soils of the plateau above the valley.
