What is this wine?
Domaine Moreau-Naudet Chablis 2023 is a benchmark expression of Chardonnay from one of Chablis’ most admired small estates. The late Stéphane Moreau transformed this family domaine into a cult favorite through meticulous organic farming and minimal-intervention winemaking; today, his wife Virginie continues that legacy with the same precision and sensitivity. The fruit for this cuvée comes from estate vineyards around the village of Chablis, grown on classic Kimmeridgian limestone soils. Fermented with native yeasts and aged mostly in stainless steel with a touch of old oak, it showcases the purity and texture that define the Moreau-Naudet style.

Why get this wine?
Few producers capture the soul of Chablis like Moreau-Naudet. Their wines combine crystalline minerality with depth and quiet power, offering top-tier craftsmanship at exceptional value. The 2023 vintage delivers beautiful balance — bright, ripe fruit with the domaine’s hallmark tension and saline precision.

What does this wine taste like?
Fresh and focused, with notes of lemon zest, green apple, white flowers, and oyster shell. The palate is pure and finely textured, finishing long, chalky, and mineral.

When should you drink this wine?
Drink now through 2030. Ideal with oysters, scallops, or roast chicken. Serve chilled but not cold to reveal its depth and nuance.

Domaine Moreau-Naudet is now among the top estates for distinctly non-conformist Chablis. Taking cues from legendary producers like Raveneau and Dauvissat, Moreau-Naudet makes ripe but precisely shaped Chablis that combine minerality with deeply concentrated substance. The lean, austere wines that became the norm for this region are less a reflection of the region’s true terroir and more a side-effect of high yield, early picking and machine harvesting.

Moreau-Naudet does the opposite. They harvest later, by hand, and look for a perfect balance of ripeness and freshness when, especially with the recent warm vintages, no chaptalization is needed. This approach in the vineyard is complemented by fully biodynamic farming and meticulous attention in the cellar where they allow nature to do the heavy lifting.

Sadly, winemaker Stephane Moreau suffered an untimely and tragic death in August 2016. When he passed unexpectedly it sent a shock through Burgundy and the wine world beyond. But since then Stephane’s wife, Virginie Moreau-Naudet, has carried on her late husband’s philosophy and style with resounding success. Tasting these wines today we feel inspired and grateful for her and her family’s perseverance.
