Fruit from organically farmed, mature Chardonnay vines is hand-harvested from deep Kimmeridgian marl, a soil that imparts both structure and nuance. Natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place in stainless steel and seasoned oak, followed by extended maturation on fine lees to enhance texture and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"613\" data-end=\"1064\"\u003eMontmains, on Chablis’ left bank, benefits from a sunnier aspect and heavier soils, producing wines of shape and depth. The 2023 vintage reflects this balance between warmth and restraint, showing ripe pear, citrus and pastry tones supported by firm acidity and a subtle saline thread. Bottled in magnum, it will develop greater harmony and refinement over time, underlining the patience and craft behind Moreau-Naudet’s most expressive Premier Cru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1005\" data-end=\"1162\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1018\" data-end=\"1021\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1025\" data-end=\"1028\"\u003e– Pear \u0026amp; Tangerine Zest\u003cbr data-start=\"1051\" data-end=\"1054\"\u003eA generous, expressive nose of pear, tangerine zest and pastry, with hints of tropical fruit and sea salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1313\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1170\" data-end=\"1173\"\u003e– Fleshy Mineral Core\u003cbr data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1197\"\u003eFull-bodied and lively, showing crisp acidity and a textured mid-palate with ripe fruit tension and mineral drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1315\" data-end=\"1447\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1324\"\u003e– Broad \u0026amp; Persistent\u003cbr data-start=\"1344\" data-end=\"1347\"\u003eLong, enveloping and structured, with generous weight balanced by Chablis purity and fine tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1867\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1497\" data-end=\"1500\"\u003e \u003cem data-start=\"1500\" data-end=\"1805\"\u003e“The most generously structured premier cru in the Moreau-Naudet portfolio this year, 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains … Jumping from the glass with aromas of pear, pastries and tangerine zest, it’s full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping … While it may feel richest today, it will generously reward patience.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate, 93 pts \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1869\" data-end=\"2140\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1869\" data-end=\"2092\"\u003e“Not the largest nose but the mineral energy here is just super.
