About The WIne
This wine now is picked from fruit from one of the de Moor’s Chablis vineyards.
It once belonged to a friend of the de Moors from a vineyards near the town of Courgis in the Chablis and Chablis Premier Cru appellations.
However, since this wine has always been made under their negoce company (that they use for wines where they have bought the grapes) they decided to keep the label and business name (Le Vendangeur Masque) even though they now own the grapes.
These vineyards have always been tended organically and are currently in conversion to achieve organic certification. They also picked some grapes from a vineyard they are now renting and converting to organic agriculture.
The wine has been made by Olivier and Alice de Moor, however, to their exacting standard.
This is a fine Chablis with lots of fruit showing. It is well-rounded, fresh tasting and has a streak of acidity and a long finish. A lovely wine to enjoy with a meal.
It is a great example of a pure, elegant Chablis at a very reasonable price.
About Alice and Oliver de Moor
Alice and Olivier de Moor craft extraordinary, cult-status natural wines from coveted small plots in Chablis, Chitry, and the rare Saint-Bris appellation that are highly sought-after in Paris and New York, with justy tiny amounts making it to Australia.
These legendary vignerons have spent over thirty years mastering their craft near the village of Courgis, where brutal cold and ancient Kimmeridgean limestone soils produce minuscule yields of exceptional fruit.
Every grape is meticulously hand-selected, fermented with wild yeasts, and aged in precious old foudre and oak barrels to create wines of stunning purity and complexity, with Olivier's own artistic labels completing these masterpieces that represent the pinnacle of natural winemaking.
