Moreau Naudet Description
"Northernmost vineyard of Burgundy, only 30 miles south of Champagne, Chablis owes its name to a peaceful village settled along the Serein River and surrounded by hillsides planted with exclusively Chardonnay grapes since more than a thousand year. The old ocean, that was covering the area some millions years ago, left behind this fascinating Terroir, known as Kimeridgian limestone, rich in oyster shelves, ammonites and fossils. Due to a cool climate and a low or no use of oak, Chablis offers one the purest expression of Chardonnay grape in France with an inimitable minerality. Over the course of the last 25 years Virginie Moreau, alongside her husband Stéphane, put this small family estate on top of the hierarchy of Chablis. Through the fascinating personality of their wines, they became the rightful heir of the two iconic figures of Chablis, Dauvissat and Raveneau. The difference between Chablis and Petit Chablis appellations lies on the soil structure. When Chablis, 1er Crus and Grand Crus sit on Kimmeridgian limestone, Petit Chablis is produced from vineyards planted in Portlandian Limestone. The difference between the two soil types is rather subtle, Portlandian is slightly younger limestone, harder and more brittle, and it does not have fossils in it. Chardonnay stays therefore genuine and loyal to the variety’s appealing characteristics." - Authentique Vin, Importer
