Chablis 1er Cru Montmains 2023

The most generously structured premier cru in the Moreau-Naudet portfolio this year, 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains derives from four climats in this premier cru, including Butteaux. Its delicately sun-kissed fruit and expressiveness encouraged Virginie Moreau to vinify it entirely in stainless steel. Jumping from the glass with aromas of pear, pastries and tangerine zest, it’s full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, having attained 13.5% alcohol. While it may feel richest today, it will generously reward patience. (KK, 3/2025)
