Domaine de Biéville 2018
Chablis AOC
Each year Louis Moreau holds on until the last moment to harvest. It takes nerves of steel but it clearly pays off, as his wines combine a wonderful citrus intensity with classic steely freshness. You can almost taste the ‘tension’ in the glass.

Sometimes it pays to be last. When neighbours in Chablis start their grape harvest, Louis Moreau at Domaine de Biéville waits. Usually for around 10 days. It’s nerve racking, especially after an unusually warm summer, as in 2018. But Louis held off and the reward is a Chablis with extra levels of ripeness and intensity. (And that's in a vintage already considered the best in 20 years.) This is also one of the roundest Chablis – the domaine’s 30-year-old vines yield some of the most concentrated grapes in the region. They’re planted at 280 metres altitude, helping to keep the wine fresh and balanced. The Moreau family also own a parcel of vines in Grand Cru Les Clos, so bring first class experience to this fine Chablis. Perfect with seafood.
