Domaine Moreau-Naudet ‘Montmains’ 1er Cru Chablis 2020

Their parcel of Montmains is small, just 0.65 hectare, and made up of on average 55 year old vines planted in a soil rich in blue clay (bleu d’argile). The domaine has one plot in Montmains itself, two in, Butteaux and one in Vieux Mulot, old vines across the piece. Montmains is on the opposite flank of the valley to Vaillons. Montmains sees less oak. Only about 10%, whereas the rest see about 30%.

Domaine Moreau-Naudet will always hold a very sentimental place in our portfolio. We met Stphane Moreau several years back through a good friend and the wines immediately moved us. Soon after the wines arrived stateside, they quickly became some of the most popular wines in our portfolio. Subsequent visits to the estate showed us how dedicated Stphane was in crafting great expressions of some of the best sites in Chablis.
