Origin
Situated in the north of Burgundy, in the department of Yonne, the appellation covers some twenty communes bordering the pretty Serein valley. Its vineyards benefit from an exceptional and much-envied geological location.
The roots draw all their resources from the predominantly clay-limestone soil dating from the Jurassic period, more precisely the Kimmeridgian (150 million years ago). Today you can still find shells, remnants of a time when the sea completely covered this area.
This organic wine, full of finesse and elegance, is a tribute to Mademoiselle Victoire, the founder of J. MOREAU & Fils.
Vinification and maturing
This cuvée comes from organically-farmed vines in the commune of La Chapelle Vaupelteigne, whose soils provide an ideal water reserve for the vines, with a rich microbial life; the grapes ripen optimally here.
- Slow pressing with juice separation,
- Light settling,
- Fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks,
- 20% of the cuvée is placed in barrels containing 3 to 4 wines and ageing on lees for 8 months.
Vintage : 2025
The 2025 vintage is shaping up to be promising in Chablis, with a profile clearly distinct from 2024, marked by significantly drier conditions. A warm summer, including an intense heatwave, enhanced berry concentration while briefly slowing physiological ripeness. Timely late-August rainfall revived vine activity and supported the progression of phenolic maturity. Harvest began as early as August 27, confirming a notably early vintage. With juicy grapes and vibrant freshness, 2025 stands out as a vintage of character, calling for precise, parcel-by-parcel winemaking to fully express each terroir.
