- Land: The Moreau-Naudet Chablis 2022 comes from vineyards located in Préhy and Courgis within the Chablis region. The domaine, having expanded under Stéphane and Virginie Moreau, encompasses diverse terroirs, with one village predominantly limestone and the other predominantly clay. This diversity, along with organic and biodynamic practices, contributes to the distinct minerality and complexity of their Chablis.
- Wine: This Chablis AOC is aged for 14 to 20 months on fine lees, exclusively in stainless steel to preserve the wine's freshness and clarity. The absence of oak allows the pure expression of Chablis terroir, showcasing the wine's notable minerality, balanced acidity, and the nuanced flavors of the region's indigenous Chardonnay grapes.
- People: Despite Stéphane Moreau's untimely passing in 2016, his legacy continues through his wife Virginie and assistant winemaker Coco. They maintain his vision and dedication to quality, using indigenous yeasts and emphasizing long maceration on lees to craft Chablis that remain true to Stéphane's style and the domaine's esteemed reputation.

From the esteemed Grand Cru vineyards to the accessible Petit Chablis, the wines of Chablis are a testament to the harmony between terroir and tradition, offering purity and elegance in every glass.
Chablis
Chardonnay, one of the world's most versatile and beloved white grape varieties, showcases a remarkable spectrum of styles, from the lean, mineral-driven expressions of Chablis in France to the rich, buttery, and oak-aged versions from California's Napa Valley. Its adaptability extends to cooler climates such as Burgundy, where it achieves elegance and complexity, and to regions like Australia's Yarra Valley, known for producing vibrant and fruit-forward renditions. This grape's ability to reflect its terroir, coupled with winemaking techniques, results in a wide array of profiles, including unoaked, crisp varieties with apple and citrus notes, to full-bodied wines with tropical fruit flavors and creamy textures.
