Only 24 bottles were allocated to us... only ONCE a YEAR (sometimes)
Tastes Like Dauvissat for hundreds LESS $$$
Hey Artisans,
We just received a minuscule allocation, only mere bottles, of Moreau Naudet's latest AOC Chablis. This normally doesn't happen—as the bottles are typically exclusively offered to places like French Laundry and Village Pub.
Moreau-Naudet will forever be one of our most cherished-yet-elusive producers. Known for producing Dauvissat-style wines, young or old, there is no question that it is consistently excellent – a perfect expression of Chablis.
While prices for white Burgundy climb in the Côte de Beaune, artisanal producers in Chablis continually over-deliver. Moreau-Naudet's small domaine captures the best of current affairs. The style here is supremely textural and deep Chardonnay with an unmistakable Chablisienne oyster shell minerality.
- Full organic farming with biodynamic principles
- Natural yeast ferments
- Woman-winemaker
- Harvested 100% by hand–an anomaly in the mainly conventionally-farmed area
- Vines between 20-60 years old
- 20 months aging on fine lees
- No oak - entirely stainless steel
Crushed rocks and oyster shells, hints of cream and toasty brioche, bright citrus. Salty, like licking a shell on the beach. Lemon oil, jasmine, peony and flint. A slightly richer, rounder style of Chablis that is delicious now but can also be cellared for several more years.
