Lucie Depuydt, J. Moreau & Fils Winemaker
Since 1814, J. Moreau & Fils has been challenging the terroir of Chablis to bring out an exceptional expression of the Chardonnay grape; the only varietal grown here.
WINERY LOCATION
In 1814 Jean-Joseph Moreau, a young cooper, married a local winemaker’s daughter and inherited the oldest wine House of Chablis. Driven by passion for the vine and traditional values, he successfully ran the business and quickly became one of the most important producers of wine in Chablis. He was a pioneer in the region and his success continued to rise.
Over the years, J. Moreau & Fils established itself on the international market and became a prestigious House, successful worldwide.
Since 1814, J. Moreau & Fils has been rising to the challenge of the Chablis terroir to bring out the very best of its single grape varietal, Chardonnay, in pursuit of its signature white wines that are complex, elegant, and precisely balanced.
KEY SELLING POINTS
1: J. Moreau & Fils boasts a strong commitment to vine management, an accurate vinification and a careful and protective ageing.
VINEYARD LOCATION
Crossed by the Serein, the vineyard of Chablis was truly flourishing in the 12th century thanks to the Cistercian monks who proved their passion and skills in crafting great wines. And it is both a glorious and unfortunate destiny that the vineyard has experienced since that time. Totally destroyed by the phylloxera in 1893, the vineyard was completely recovered and now stands as a nature’s masterpiece.
The specific soil of the Chablis vineyard, inherited from the presence of the sea in the Mesozoic era, gives the wine a iodine hint and a particular mineralty that seduces the whole world.
2: The style of J. Moreau & Fils wines lead to subtle minerality and intense fruitiness, structure and aromatic complexity.
3: 200 years of bringing Burgundy to the world

It contains the same marine sediments that enrich the same marls, clays and limestones. The Jurassic vineyard goes back more than 5,000 years, while the first writings attesting to the existence of a vineyard on the coast dates back to 312. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Burgundy grape varieties, thus found in the Jura a beautiful land of welcome with an expression of freshness due to the altitude.

KEY SELLING POINTS
1. For over three decades, DeLoach has pioneered the growth and vinification of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley.
VINEYARD LOCATION
The Russian River Valley was originally purchased by Russian fur hunters from the Pomo Native American Tribe in 1812 in hopes of establishing a trade port. They first planted grapes in 1836 in what is today Graton, in the Russian River Valley Appellation. With climactic similarities to Burgundy, France, the Russian River Valley is considered a top region for producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The nearby Pacific Ocean sends on-shore breezes and fog to cool the vineyards, and brisk water creates a cooling effect that results in wines that range from structured to silky textures. The fog from the ocean cools the vineyards, allowing a longer growing season which develops the flavors and balances the acidity. The soil is a combination of fractured sandstone and sandy loam, creating Goldridge soil which is ideal for cool climate grapes. The variety of soils foster diversity of wines throughout the valley.
2. DeLoach combines modern technology and centuries-old French customs. In 2003, the Boisset family brought two generations of sustainable winemaking from Burgundy, France to California’s Russian River Valley.
3. DeLoach is California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), Demeter Certified Biodynamic, and Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing.
