2019 Domaine Christian Moreau Les Clos Grand Cru Chablis

WE99 A champion of the celebrated Les Clos, this powerful, soul-reaching wine highlights the finesse of grand cru Chablis even in the hottest of vintages. Indisputably massive, unctuous even, it pulsates with yellow-cherry and peach flavors yet remains anchored in steel and breathtaking tension. It’s explosive in fruit now but will gain deeper nuance and complexity with time. Hold till at least 2024—it should reward well through 2040.
BH95 Interestingly, this is aromatically quite similar to the Valmur save for the presence of an abundance of floral and shellfish elements. The super-intense, indeed almost painful, broad-shouldered flavors possess evident minerality and outstanding delineation that possess a bracing salinity on the hugely long finale. This too is clearly built for extended cellaring and is going to need at least 5 to 7 before it will be approachable. In a word, excellent.
