FEATURES
The 2023 Moreau-Naudet Chablis Montmains 1er Cru hails from the left bank of the Serein River in the heart of 布根地, specifically from clay-limestone soils rich in marine fossils and oyster shells. Domaine Moreau-Naudet is dedicated to crafting authentic, high-quality Chablis, employing viticultural principles like total tillage, hand harvesting, and fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The 2023 vintage in 布根地 was characterized by ideal weather, leading to high yields and exceptional quality white wines known for their elegance, complexity, and liveliness.
This Chablis 1er Cru Montmains is noted for its characteristic balance of slender mouthfeel, generous body, and vibrant minerality, making it accessible even when young. The nose opens with generous white flowers, ripe fruit like pear, tangerine, and mango, alongside tertiary notes of sweet almond and fresh butter upon aeration. Fine chalky accents, typical of Kimmeridgian soils, add freshness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-balanced, with an initial unctuosity giving way to vibrant, charming acidity and a textured mineral core, leading to a broad, persistent finish.
