The 2024 Domaine Moreau-Naudet Chablis is a precise and mineral-driven expression from one of the appellation’s most respected producers. Known for their low-intervention philosophy and deep understanding of terroir, Moreau-Naudet crafts a Chablis that captures the purity, tension and understated complexity of this classic region. The nose is fresh and finely detailed, offering aromas of lemon, green apple and pear, layered with subtle white flowers and a distinctive mineral character. Notes of wet stone, oyster shell and a faint saline edge add depth, while restrained use of oak (if any) keeps the profile clean and focused.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright, racy acidity that provides energy and structure. The citrus and orchard fruit flavours are crisp and well-defined, supported by a strong mineral backbone. There is a subtle roundness from lees contact, balanced by a linear, tension-driven structure that leads to a long, clean and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark village Chablis, offering a step up in depth and structure from Petit Chablis while maintaining freshness and precision. Compared to richer Chardonnay styles, it stands out for its minerality, restraint and food-friendly profile. Enjoy now or cellar through 2030+ as it develops additional complexity. Perfect with oysters, shellfish, grilled fish or light poultry dishes.
