The Moreau family has been settled in the heart of Chablis since 1884. Louis Moreau, the sixth generation, studied oenology and viticulture in California and took over from his father when he returned to France in 1994. Nowadays, the Domaine's vineyards extend across the four levels of the appellation: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Premier Cru and Grand Cru.

Located between Grand Cru Valmur and Grand Cru Preuses, Vaudésir produces homogeneous wines that can be perceived austere but also fine and floral when young, and will develop a nice, robust and round structure when aging.

Fragrant aromas of orange zest, honeysuckle, peaches and lilac preface Moreau's Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir, a full-bodied, satiny and elegantly enveloping wine with an expansive attack, lively purity and a bright, precise and delicately chalky finish. It's a lovely wine that will offer considerable short term and long term appeal.

This Grand Cru will pair beautifully with roasted vegetables and lobster.

About the Winery

Domaine Louis Moreau

Winemaker Louis Moreau is the master of the Chablis terroir, where he bottles 100% Chardonnay wines from all four levels of appellation: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Crus and Chablis Grands Cru.

The Domaine owns parcels in five of the seven Grands Cru climats, and works with many plots throughout the region in a sustainable manner. The most prestigious of its wines is the monopole Chablis Grand Cru 'Clos des Hospices' dans Les Clos AOC 2016, acquired by the Moreau family in 1904.

Louis Moreau, who has been leading the domaine since 1994, produces wines with a unique style. Louis Moreau studied oenology-viticulture at Fresno State University and worked at different Californian wineries before he took over the Domaine's operations in 1994, representing the family's sixth generation of vignerons.

Press Reviews

90 Points - Neal Martin

The 2020 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru has a terse, stony, austere bouquet whose neautrality I quite admire. The palate is well-balanced with a twist of sour lemon on the entry, moderate weight, with a patina of white chocolate towards the finish. Not bad, though it just misses some minerality towards the finish.
