Several weeks ago I ordered some wine from New York and among those that I ordered were two bottles of the Christian Moreau offering from the 2008 vintage. I was quite pleased to read the following in the Journal from Lettie Teague...
I didn't order the Valmur but I can attest to the fact that I fell I love with his simple Chablis. Tart and restrained on the nose the wines was full of that special minerality that I love in Chablis. The fruit was sharp and focused and there was that tight edge of acid that makes a well made Chablis my favorite white wine of them all. There were some oysters to accompany the wine and a pan seared halibut fillet to fill in around the oysters. Little else was needed but there were a couple of crusty rolls to break apart and soak up the juices left on the plate. Life can be very good.One of my favorite producers, Christian Moreau, was positively voluble on the quality of his 2008 wines. I loved the spare, elegant 2008 Christian Moreau Valmur Grand Cru at $65 a bottle. “They are wines to age,” Mr. Moreau declared.
