Who makes it
One grape variety runs through Domaine Louis Moreau's vineyards: Chardonnay. The domaine makes white wines in Chablis, with bottles moving from Petit Chablis through Chablis, Premier Cru and Grand Cru.
Chardonnay stays constant while the appellation name changes. Petit Chablis and Chablis provide broader designations, while Premier Cru and Grand Cru identify higher vineyard categories within Chablis.
Where it grows
Chablis is the Burgundy appellation where Domaine Louis Moreau works. Its four levels move from broader appellation names to higher vineyard classifications, placing Petit Chablis and Chablis below Premier Cru and Grand Cru on the label.
A Grand Cru is a classified vineyard category, while Premier Cru identifies the level below it. The hierarchy changes the geographical specificity and classification printed on the bottle, even when the grape remains Chardonnay.
How it is made
The cellar
The estate vineyards are planted 100% to Chardonnay. A single grape variety keeps the fruit source consistent while appellation level and cellar choices separate the wines.
No vine age, parcel name, harvest practice or soil treatment is specified. The confirmed cellar choices are stainless steel, wild yeast and extended ageing, all used to preserve mineral characteristics and terroir personality.
What they make
The range includes Petit Chablis Louis Moreau 2023, Chablis 2025, Chablis Premier Cru Les Fourneaux 2023, Chablis Premier Cru Vau Ligneau 2022 and Chablis Grand Cru Valmur 2021.
Petit Chablis Louis Moreau carries the broadest designation in the range. Chablis occupies the central appellation level, while Les Fourneaux and Vau Ligneau name Premier Cru wines. Valmur carries the Grand Cru designation, the highest of the four Chablis levels. All are white wines connected by Chardonnay and separated by appellation category.
