Description
The Moreau-Naudet Chablis Chardonnay 2022 offers an exceptional blend of richness and vibrancy, crafted by one of Burgundy’s most respected winemaking families. Hailing from France’s renowned Chablis region in Burgundy, this white wine showcases the signature minerality and precision of its terroir while delivering a bold expression of ripe fruit flavors. With a 94-point rating from Tim Atkin, this wine proves its quality through its dynamic profile—think sun-ripened peach and apricot notes layered over a backbone of racy acidity that keeps each sip lively and balanced.
Ideal for those seeking complexity without heaviness, this full-bodied yet crisp Chardonnay pairs beautifully with seafood dishes like oysters or buttery scallops while holding its own against richer fare such as chicken cacciatore or creamy pastas. Its structured palate suggests cellaring potential; though approachable now, giving it 1–3 years will unlock deeper layers of citrus and mineral undertones, enhancing its versatility for both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging.
Moreau-Naudet’s expertise shines through in this bottling, reflecting their meticulous attention to organic viticulture and sustainable practices in Burgundy’s chalky soils. At 13% alcohol, it strikes an elegant balance between approachability and intensity—a hallmark of top-tier Chablis wines—making it suitable for casual sipping or refined dining occasions. Unlike many New World Chardonnays known for oak-forward styles, this bottle emphasizes pure fruit and acidity shaped by its cool-climate origins, offering a leaner yet flavorful alternative for discerning palates.
Whether you’re building a cellar collection or searching for a sophisticated white wine with aging potential, this 2022 vintage delivers exceptional value backed by critical acclaim. Its harmonious interplay of ripe fruit and bright acidity ensures longevity while satisfying both now and in years ahead—a true testament to Burgundy’s finest expressions of Chardonnay.
