Moreau-Naudet Chablis 2023 Magnum
-
ABOUT THE WINE: Moreau’s village Chablis comes chiefly from 20- to 30-year-old vineyards in Préhy and Courgis, both south of Chablis. Then, there are parcels in Chablis and Chichée (under the Premier Cru vines of Vaugiraut/Vosgros). All up, the Domaine works with 30 parcels scattered across the appellation, representing a variety of soil structures and exposures. All the fruit from the younger vines is sold off in bulk, lifting the general standard. The fruit was pressed gently over four hours and fermented with natural yeasts (still a rarity in Chablis). It was raised mainly in the tank, and the maturation was unhurried. The wine then spent 20 months on lees, considerably longer than most Chablis of this level. These traditional methods—along with hand-harvesting, the quality of the terroir, the low yields and the ripeness—help explain the mouthcoating texture, salty depths and overall quality.
Bibendum - ABOUT THE PRODUCER: After the passing of Stéphane Moreau, the Domaine continues to thrive with Virginie Moreau leading the charge. Moreau-Naudet maintains small holdings among the most pedigreed crus of Chablis. In the vineyard, organic viticulture, hand harvesting, low yields and late picking are key while in the winery whole berry pressing, natural yeast fermentation, minimal use of sulfur, natural settling and long, slow élevage in large oak are all part of the Moreau-Naudet process. Moreau-Naudet’s wines are intense with mineral freshness interwoven through pulpy and sexy fruit. Their annual releases are fast becoming as anticipated as those from the big guns at Raveneau and Dauvissat.
