The domaine works approximately two hectares here, with mature vines rooted in limestone-rich soils containing the marine fossils characteristic of Chablis. The south-east-facing vineyard produces a style renowned for mineral tension, freshness and a distinctly saline personality. In 2024, the wine combines remarkable purity with ripe yet restrained fruit and impressive energy. The magnum format offers an especially appealing proposition for extended cellaring and gradual development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, followed by an extended élevage incorporating tanks, barrels and larger demi-muids. The 2024 vintage expresses crisp orchard fruit and citrus alongside iodine, floral and lightly spicy nuances, while its mineral framework remains firmly at the centre of the wine. The palate is ample yet bright, with fine acidity balancing the ripeness and carrying the fruit towards a saline, chalky finish. Subtle bitter citrus and mineral notes add further complexity and persistence. The overall impression is one of concentration without heaviness, combining maturity of fruit with the freshness and precision associated with this Premier Cru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Pure, citrus-driven and saline\u003cbr\u003eCrisp pear, green apple and lemon oil mingle with floral notes, iodine, subtle spice and a delicate freshly baked bread nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Bright, ample and mineral\u003cbr\u003eRipe orchard and citrus fruit are carried by energetic acidity, fine texture and a pronounced chalky mineral core with remarkable freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, saline and precise\u003cbr\u003ePersistent citrus, fine bitters and chalky minerality lead into a focused, mouth-watering finish with lingering saline character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Opening in the glass with aromas of crisp pear, Granny Smith apple and lemon oil, mingled with notes of freshly baked bread, the 2024 Chablis 1er Cru Forêts is medium- to full-bodied, ample and bright, with a crisp core of fruit that simultaneously exhibits considerable ripeness for the vintage, framed by racy acids and a saline finish.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate, 91–93 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“This is consistently among my favourite bottlings from this cellar. The 2024 shows exotic notes of passion fruit and kiwi, along with hints of verbena and star anise. The texture is silky and fine, with a touch of richness but nothing heavy. It is still on lees and will not be bottled until June or July of 2026. The grapes are from 1.9ha spread throughout the appellation; fermented and aged in tank.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Charles Curtis MW, Decanter, 94 Points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Domaine Moreau-Naudet\u003cbr\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eAppellation - Chablis\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2024\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 1500ml\u003cbr\u003eClassification - Premier Cru\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moreau-Naudet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44508169732183,"sku":"MOR-NAUD-FOR-24-1.5L","price":379.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/21571b63-2422-4a31-97a4-c053c008c244.webp?v=1792488500","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/domaine-moreau-naudet-chablis-1er-cru-forets-2024-1-5l","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
