Some wines need explaining. Others speak for themselves.
Domaine Christian Moreau’s Chablis is firmly in the second camp — all minerality, precision, and quiet power. It’s a white Burgundy that doesn’t shout, but it absolutely gets your attention.

At Bodega 1830, we pour it for guests who want something classic, clean, and deeply memorable. If you like your white wine razor-sharp with a bit of elegance? This is it.

A Family Steeped in Chablis

The Moreau family has been making wine in Chablis for over 200 years. They know the land, the limestone, the rhythm of the vines. Today, under the leadership of Christian and Fabien Moreau, the estate is fully organic and one of the most respected names in the region.

Their Chablis AOC — made entirely from Chardonnay — captures the purity of place that Chablis is famous for. No oak, no fuss. Just fruit, stone, and time.

What It Tastes Like

Think white peach, lemon zest, crushed shell, and wet stone. It’s linear and fresh, but with a soft roundness that comes from the hands of a winemaker who knows exactly what he’s doing.

It’s not flashy. It’s focused. Which is exactly why it works so well at the table.

What to Pair It With at Bodega

This Chablis was made for food. It shines with grilled prawns, anything creamy, and fresh cheeses. It's the kind of bottle that quietly lifts a meal without ever taking it over.

We especially love it alongside our tempura aubergine or creamy mushrooms on toast — light textures, layered flavours, just like the wine.

For Wine Lovers and Curious Sippers Alike

If you know Chablis, this bottle will confirm everything you love about it. If you don’t, this is your perfect introduction — no oak, no heaviness, just straight-up clarity in a glass.

You’ll find it by the bottle at Bodega 1830. Ask our team for a pairing or just trust your gut and start with it — this is one wine that never disappoints.
