Structure, depth, and meticulous élevage define this outstanding village-level Chablis from Domaine Moreau-Naudet. The 2024 vintage is sourced from approximately 30 parcels across the appellation, including sites in Préhy, Courgis, Chablis, and Chichée, each contributing distinct soil profiles and exposures that enhance complexity and balance. The domaine is known for its uncompromising vineyard practices, including low yields, organic principles, and hand-harvesting, ensuring optimal fruit quality and site expression. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts, a relatively rare and deliberate choice in Chablis that allows the wine to develop greater aromatic nuance and authenticity. The wine undergoes a slow and careful vinification, followed by extended maturation, spending around 20 months on lees, significantly longer than typical for village Chablis. This prolonged ageing contributes to its signature texture, building depth and a subtle creaminess while preserving freshness and mineral tension.
In the glass, the 2024 reveals a poised and layered profile, combining classic Chablis minerality with added richness and structure. Citrus and orchard fruit notes are supported by saline undertones and a lightly creamy mid-palate, reflecting both terroir and élevage. This is a wine that sits above its appellation level, offering both immediate drinkability and the capacity to evolve over time. The balance between vibrancy and texture gives it versatility at the table, particularly with seafood, oysters, and poultry dishes. Domaine Moreau-Naudet’s commitment to traditional methods and extended ageing results in a Chablis of notable character, precision, and quiet power.
