Burghound, October 2011

A completely different nose that is much more floral in character also evidences notes of oyster shell and algae, both of which can also be found on the rich, stony and almost painfully intense flavors that carry a gorgeous sense of underlying tension to the explosive, detailed and driving finish that is also extremely dry and quite citrus-inflected. A beautiful and impressively refined example of this most gifted of 1ers. - Comments: Outstanding ♥

About Winery

The Naudet family have been making wine since the 17th century, but Domaine Moreau-Naudet itself was established in 1950, upon the marriage of Mademoiselle Marie Naudet and Monsieur René Moreau. The domaine has passed from father to son, and since taking over from his father Roger in 1991, Stéphane Moreau has gained huge and wide-spread recognition for his wines, and is now firmly established as one of the top producers in Chablis.

Stéphane refuses to spray weed killers or any treatment against rot, and has used only organic fertilisers in weak doses for the last 15 years.

He chooses to harvest slightly later than his neighbours, so as to ensure perfect ripeness, and had reduced yields by about 30%. Harvest is by hand, and while his Village and Petit Chablis spend 11 months in tank, he uses a small proportion of large old barrels on his 1er and Grand Cru Chablis, so as to achieve a softening, stabilising effect on the wines (1/3 spends time in barrel, and 2/3 in temperature controlled tanks, for 18 months).

Stéphane achieves additional complexity and flesh by holding the wine on the lees for much longer than his peers, and he also refuses to `tweak' the wines in difficult vintages. The result is fine, classic Chablis with a definite mineral and flint character.
