Domaine Moreau-Naudet Chablis Village 2023

Domaine Moreau-Naudet Chablis Village 2023 is a pure, chiselled expression of classic Chablis, drawn from three complementary vineyard sites around the village. Vinified entirely in tank, it focuses on clarity, precision and the unadorned character of Chardonnay on limestone. This cuvée captures the modern, terroir-driven spirit of Chablis while remaining firmly rooted in the region’s long tradition of mineral, sea-breeze-influenced whites.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2023 Chablis Village shows a pale lemon hue with subtle green reflections, signalling freshness and youth. The nose opens with vivid notes of grapefruit zest and lemon pith, followed by delicate acacia blossom and a distinctive flinty, wet-stone character that is very true to Chablis. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and taut, with bright, linear acidity that lends tension and drive. Citrus and orchard fruit flavors—grapefruit, green apple and a hint of white peach—are wrapped in a fine, almost saline minerality, giving a textured and slightly chalky mouthfeel. The finish is precise, clean and delicately juicy, leaving a lingering impression of citrus peel and stone. Enjoyable in its youth for its energy and purity, it should evolve nicely over the next 3–6 years, gaining a bit more roundness and complexity while retaining its hallmark freshness.

Production
Sourced from three different vineyard parcels in the Chablis appellation, this wine reflects the cool northerly climate and limestone-rich soils that define Burgundy’s most famous Chardonnay terroir. The vineyards sit on classic Kimmeridgian and limestone-based subsoils, which contribute both the flinty aromatics and the saline edge on the palate. Grapes are typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve acidity and aromatic clarity, then gently pressed. Fermentation and maturation take place exclusively in stainless-steel tanks, with no new oak influence, allowing the natural fruit profile and the stony, mineral character of the terroir to shine through. A period on fine lees adds a subtle textural dimension without compromising the wine’s tension and precision.

Food & Serving
This Chablis Village 2023 is a superb partner for classic seafood dishes: think freshly shucked oysters, poached or grilled white fish, shrimp, scallops, or sushi and sashimi. It also pairs beautifully with goat cheese, lightly seasoned poultry, simple vegetable dishes, and delicate cream or beurre blanc sauces where its acidity cuts through richness. Serve well-chilled, ideally at 8–10°C (46–50°F), to highlight its freshness and mineral line. Decanting is not essential, but pouring the wine into a carafe 15–20 minutes before serving can help it open up aromatically, especially in its first couple of years.
