J. Moreau & Fils 2000 Les Clos Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $50
An effort worthy of the grand cru pedigree, this firm, yet rich and enveloping, wine juxtaposes minerals against ripe apples and pears. Hints of flint and anise on the nose add complexity, while the finish seamlessly melds honey and steel.

J. Moreau & Fils 2000 Bougros Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $45
Deceptively light in weight, this elegant wine features a delicate filigree of spice and mineral entwined around a core of apples and pears. Traces of cinnamon and crushed stone add complexity to the long finish.

J. Moreau & Fils 2000 Montmains Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- Editors' Choice
- $29
Smoky and earthy, this is a wine that speaks of the ground in which it was grown, with intense mineral aromas a thick texture and a long, lime-tinged finish.

J. Moreau & Fils 2000 Cuvée Joyau Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $45
Showy aromas of vanilla cream, almond and ripe peach blend in flavors of oranges and tangerines in the mouth. This medium-weight wine finishes gently, with soft underpinnings of toasted nuts and chalk. The best Joyau of the trio.

J. Moreau & Fils 1999 Les Clos Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $45
A big, forceful, buttery wine that boasts loads of slippery river stones, along with spicy clove notes. Full-bodied and very ripe, showing more mineral than fruit, this grand cru should be approachable in 2–3 years and last up to 10.

J. Moreau & Fils 1997 Cuvee Joyeaux Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $45
The tight structure of this wine influenced Moreau to hold back its release until May 2002. Now that it’s available, expect a full-bodied, powerful Chablis that combines aromas and flavors of butter, peach, apple and nuts in a ready-to-drink package.

J. Moreau & Fils 1997 Valmur Chardonnay (Chablis)
- $40
This is balanced and refined, as a grand cru should be, with a complex bouquet of honeysuckle, hay, mild vanilla and mineral-earth notes. The complexity continues on the palate where mineral soy, floral and cinnamon elements play, though there's not particularly brisk acidity or internal tension here. Closes with good length and style, if a bit fuller, more…

J. Moreau & Fils 1999 Valmur White (Chablis)
- $47
Minerally and nutty, with aromas of toast and vanilla from oak but not overdone, balanced by wisps of chalk dust. Full in the mouth, with almond and peach flavors predominating. Finishes easy, accented by peppery spice.
— W.E.
