Louis Moreau

The Moreaus have been in Chablis since 1814, but they did not begin with vines: they were coopers and wine merchants. First came the vessels and the trade, and only later the growing.

In 1904 the family bought the Clos des Hospices dans Les Clos, a parcel inside the Les Clos grand cru that remains their monopole: nobody else bottles that wine.

Louis Moreau has run the house since 1994 and is the sixth generation. Around fifty hectares, based in Beines.

The grands crus and the old vines of Vaillons are farmed organically; the rest under lutte raisonnée.
