2019 Alice et Olivier De Moor Chablis L'Humeur du Temps #154890374
1.5L
Reviews 90 points Vinous "The 2019 Chablis L'Humeur du Temps, blended from five parcels with different exposures and aged in used barrels, has a strict, linear bouquet, well-defined and quite focused, though maybe needing more time in bottle to develop terroir expression. The saline, spicy palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Lemongrass furnishes the finish and leaves the tongue tingling after the wine has exited. Very fine. (NM)"

About Alice et Olivier De Moor
Alice and Olivier De Moor of Courgis, Chablis, have been trailblazers in organic winemaking for two decades. Crafting exquisite Chardonnay, Aligoté, and Sauvignon Blanc, they frequently introduce avant-garde releases. They harness natural yeasts for fermentation, enriching the bond between the grape's microbiome and the wine. Aging in neutral oak emphasizes the fruit's essence and introduces nuanced complexity, with minimal sulfur additions only at bottling.
Their cellar masterfully blends tradition with modernity: barrels honor age-old practices, while concrete and fiberglass tanks denote innovation. Featured cuvées like Aligote 1902 and L'Humeur du Temps, and blends like Bel-Air et Clardy, showcase their unique style.
Through Les Vendangeurs Masqués, they champion lesser-known grapes, crafting wines from organically farmed fruits across vineyards. Their vineyard management is distinct, emphasizing grape maturity and vine health through deliberate canopy management and minimal treatments.
Overall, the De Moors' dedication to organic ethos, pioneering vinification techniques, and quest to redefine wine norms have solidified their esteemed position. Their sustainable and inventive approach consistently captivates and enlightens the wine world.
