Petit Chablis

The Moreau family has lived in Chablis since 1814 and Louis is now the sixth generation winemaker.

After studying oenology-viticulture at the University of Fresno State (California) and several experiments in various Californian wineries, Louis returned to Chablis to succeed his father.

Strong in his university career, and eager to pass on a vineyard with respect for the environment to future generations, Louis advocates a well-founded work of the vine. He seeks the most natural solution possible to maintain the quality of his vines and grapes

Today, the estate owns five grands crus, including a monopoly, and exploits numerous plots of land in the Petit Chablis, Chablis and Chablis 1er Cru appellations with the utmost respect for the environment.

The most prestigious of its wines is the monopoly Chablis Grand Cru Clos des Hospices in les Clos, whose family purchase dates back to 1904. Louis Moreau, at the head of the estate since 1994, produces wines in a unique style that combines minerality, finesse, elegance and purity
