- TASTING NOTE: “With 12.5% alcohol, Moreau-Naudet’s 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is another success this year, soaring from the glass with a bouquet of beeswax, honeysuckle and crisp orchard fruit. Matured in a combination of old wood (30%) and tank, it’s medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated yet with good tension and structured around racy acids, with ample chalky extract and a long, sapid finish. It derives from a parcel just next to Raveneau’s.” 92-94 - Points - Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate

ABOUT THE WINE: One of Chablis’ greatest Premier Cru terroirs, Montée de Tonnerre has a sandy, rocky topsoil rich in Kimmeridgian limestone. Moreau’s one-hectare parcel sits within the lieu-dit of Chapelot, which is separated from the Grand Cru Les Blanchots by a narrow ravine. The vines cover two contiguous plots, one 50 years old and a second, recently replanted parcel. This is a concentrated, layered, rocky wine—somehow seductive yet incredibly earthy and mineral. Stunning.
Bibendum - ABOUT THE PRODUCER: After the passing of Stéphane Moreau, the Domaine continues to thrive with Virginie Moreau leading the charge. Moreau-Naudet maintains small holdings among the most pedigreed crus of Chablis. In the vineyard, organic viticulture, hand harvesting, low yields and late picking are key while in the winery whole berry pressing, natural yeast fermentation, minimal use of sulfur, natural settling and long, slow élevage in large oak are all part of the Moreau-Naudet process. Moreau-Naudet’s wines are intense with mineral freshness interwoven through pulpy and sexy fruit. Their annual releases are fast becoming as anticipated as those from the big guns at Raveneau and Dauvissat.
