Moreau-Naudet, Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2022 - MAGNUM 1.5L
Variety: Chardonnay
Moreau-Naudet has been forging its own path in Chablis since the 50’s. Low intervention, minimal oak usage and a focus on terroir was a pioneering approach at the time. Third generation winemaker Stephane Moreau continued the family traditions with the aid of his wife and assistant winemaker, Virginie. Even though Stephane passed away in 2016, the force behind the wines has continued to grow through Virginie, who has taken the reins of this domain in Chablis, steering it with elegant control. Farming is completely biodynamic, something seldom seen in Chablis. Moreau-Naudet limits the use of barrel aging, opting for just 10-30% of the juice seeing wood on most bottlings. The wine sees a long maceration on lees.
Importer Grand Cru Selections said it best: "Moreau-Naudet's holdings in Vaillons are around 1.7 hectares from Roncière, Séchet (75 year old vines) and Epinottes. Fermentation is, as always, with natural yeast with up to three months of lees aging. Aged in about 10% oak."
