"There was nothing missing in 2005," said Christian Moreau, "but at the beginning the wines were hard to taste and we weren't convinced. Until the end of the malolactic fermentation they showed more varietal than site character. It's not the vintage of the century; it's like 1992 and fruitier than 2002. But the 2004s are more classic." The 2005s can be enjoyed in their youth, but there will be no problem waiting five or six years, Moreau added.

.By cutting off a sizable percentage of the buds during late spring of '04, Christian and Fabien Moreau managed to hold ultimate yields to a reasonable level in the context of this plethoric year, but still made the maximum allowable yields.According to Christian Moreau, there was a good bit of oidium, especially on the left bank of the Serein. They left a good part of the affected grapes in the vineyard and did a further selection in the winery.They then kept more of the lees than usual, but practiced batonnage only for the first month.Like the other top producers of Chablis, the Moreaus have made a science out of finding the optimum blend of barrel and tank for each of their cuvees.
