Domaine Christian Moreau Père et Fils Chablis Vaillon Cuvée Guy Moreau 2011 Premier Cru

Variety: Chardonnay  
Country of origin: France
Wine appellation: Chablis
Vintage: 2010
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Color: light yellow
Bouquet: very round, hazelnut, dry apples, minerality, lime
Taste: medium to full body, very nicely layered, similar to nose shows hint of hazelnut character from oak aging, but very gentle anf perfectly balanced by minerality and lime acidity, longer finish
Recommended food pairing: fish
Overall score: 4+9+14+8+8+50=93
Price: CZK 859
Stopper: cork (pressed from very small almost sand pieces)
This one we had very good debate as two of us (including me) claimed part some part of the oak ageing and the other two not. We checked on the web and 35% was barrel aged:-). somehow none can fool me:-). It was very nice and definitely food wine, good combination of minerality and oak, which could be mistaken with best Burgundy. Clearly the best Chablis of the day.
