Domaine Christian Moreau Père et Fils is a wine producer based in Chablis, in northern Burgundy. The company has a history dating back to 1814 with the establishment of the wine merchant trading company J. Moreau et Fils, founded by Jean Joseph Moreau. The company sold shares in the 1970s and was sold off in the 1980s but, as of 2002, the estate and vineyards have been back in the hands of the Moreau family. Today, the domaine produces multiple examples of Chablis from estate-grown Chardonnay. The estate consists of 12 hectares (30 acres) of organically farmed vineyard land spread throughout Chablis. Approximately 5ha (13 acres) of this land is in the Chablis Grand Cru vineyards, including plots in Blanchot, Le Clos, Valmur, and Vaudésir. Christian Moreau's vines average 45 years old, and are primarily planted on Chablis' famous Kimmeridgian soils. All of the Chardonnay is handpicked, from the domaine's Petit Chablis vineyards up to grand cru. The winemaking process sees fermentation and aging in stainless steel vats. Some wines are aged for four to six months in barrel and around 10 percent of the oak is new wood in the grand cru wines. Domaine Christian Moreau's Clos de Hospices wine from the Le Clos vineyards is one of the estate's top bottlings. The Chardonnay for this wine comes from a tiny parcel of 30-year-old vines that were acquired by the Moreau family in 1904.
