J. Moreau & Fils Les Coches Chardonnay

J. Moreau & Fils is a well-known winery in the Pays d'Oc region, known for its top-quality wines. This is partly due to the vineyards' perfect location. This Chardonnay is also grown in old vineyards in the Pays d'Oc region, specifically in the departments of Hérault, Aude, Gard, and Pyrénées. In these regions, the vines grow in nutrient-rich clay soil, a soil in which Chardonnay thrives. In the south of France, Chardonnay grows in ideal conditions. It can draw just the right amount of water from the soil to develop its characteristic freshness. And the Mediterranean climate provides perfect conditions for the grapes to develop their natural tendency toward suppleness.

The Chardonnay harvest of J. Moreau & Fils

The Chardonnay grapes are harvested at perfect ripeness and then destemmed and crushed to preserve the fruit and prevent unwanted vegetal aromas. The golden-yellow juice then ages for several months in the J. Moreau & Fils cellars. This allows the wine to develop and acquire all the wonderful qualities of aging.

The aroma and taste of the J. Moreau & Fils Chardonnay

Sometimes we're presented with wines that make us think: how do they do that? We don't know, but oh, what a treat this wine is. It's not for nothing that it was the house wine of a well-known hotel in Scheveningen for years. Trust us: take one sip of this wine and you'll be convinced. You open it and you're immediately hooked: you smell stone fruit like peaches and nectarines, but also the sultry notes of yellow cream and mango. The aroma alone was enough to captivate us. What a superb wine! The taste reveals many typical Chardonnay characteristics. Think tropical fruits like peach, apricot, and a touch of melon. But also fresh notes like grapefruit. This keeps the wine from being too full-bodied, making it truly a crowd-pleaser. Try this wine with fish dishes, goat cheese, or light salads. A combination that's unbeatable.
