Domaine Alice and Olivier de Moor
Alice and Olivier are well known for their pure, natural wines that they craft from small plots in Chablis, Chitry and the little known Saint Bris appellation. Their wines are highly sought-after in Paris and New York so we were delighted when they agreed to release some of their dwindling supplies for Australia.
They have been tending their organic vines near their village of Courgis for almost fifteen years now. Courgis lies north west of Dijon so it is quite a cold area leading to low yields from the vines. Both Alice and Olivier share the winemaking as they work together to craft these stunning wines.
All the grapes are picked by hand and only natural yeasts are used to ferment the wines which are matured in oak barrels that are typically one to four years old to ensure that the oak flavours do not dominate the fruit.

Domaine De Moor Bourgogne Chitry 2008
The Chitry is made from a vineyard that lies just outside the Chablis boundary so those in the know snap up this wine as it has all the characteristics of a Chablis but at a lower price. It is a pure Chardonnay and is classified as a Burgundy Village wine (the village being Chitry).

Domaine De Moor Bourgogne Aligoté 2008
We are particularly pleased to have been offered some of their delicious Domaine De Moor Bourgogne Aligoté. Aligoté is the second white grape of Burgundy and wine made from this grape is popular locally but not seen much outside of France. In the right hands it can be a wonderful wine – and this one certainly is. We’ve long been fans of this grape and this wine has been receiving accolades on both sides of the Atlantic.
