Domaine Christian Moreau Père & Fils is a wine producer based in Chablis, the northernmost appellation of Burgundy in France. The domaine works exclusively with Chardonnay, as is required throughout Chablis, and focuses on expressing the distinctive character of its terroir through a range that spans the appellation's hierarchy from village-level Chablis through premier and grand cru vineyards.
Chablis occupies a unique position in the Chardonnay world. Its cool continental climate and Kimmeridgian limestone soils, composed of ancient marine deposits rich in fossilized oyster shells, produce wines with a characteristic steely minerality, high acidity, and restrained fruit. These qualities set Chablis apart from warmer Burgundy appellations to the south and make it one of the most distinctive expressions of unoaked or lightly oaked Chardonnay anywhere in France.
The current range includes the Chablis "Pargues," a village-level wine from the 2021 vintage. Pargues is a lieu-dit, or named plot, within the Chablis appellation, and its inclusion on the label signals an interest in site-specific expression rather than generic blending, an approach that reflects the domaine's broader commitment to terroir-driven winemaking.
