Moreau-Naudet Forets Premier Cru Chablis White Wine Burgundy 2022

Discover the exceptional quality of Moreau-Naudet’s 2022 Chablis Premier Cru Chardonnay, a wine crafted to delight connoisseurs seeking bold character and terroir-driven elegance. Hailing from Burgundy’s esteemed Chablis region, this premier cru offering showcases the precision and artistry of its producers through a meticulous blend of tradition and innovation.

The wine’s foundation lies in two meticulously tended plots within the Forets vineyard, totaling under two hectares. One parcel nurtures venerable 60-year-old vines nestled near Vincent Dauvissat’s acclaimed holdings, while the second features younger vines (aged 25 years) positioned close to Raveneau’s renowned parcels—a strategic choice that harmonizes depth with freshness. The Forets site itself is celebrated for its unique geology: layers of clay and decomposed rock over limestone create a mineral-rich environment that defines Chablis’ signature style. With a southeastern orientation, these slopes capture optimal sunlight, fostering a warm microclimate that enhances ripeness without sacrificing the crisp acidity that makes Chablis unforgettable.

This 2022 vintage delivers a striking balance of power and finesse. Expect vibrant citrus and green apple notes layered with flinty minerality, underscored by a saline finish that reflects its exceptional limestone soils. The Moreau-Naudet team’s careful winemaking ensures complexity without heaviness—perfect for pairing with oyster dishes or rich seafood courses while remaining approachable in its youth.

For lovers of Burgundy Chardonnay who appreciate wines shaped by both time-honored techniques and distinctive terroir, this bottling stands apart. Its limited production from premium premier cru land makes it a standout choice compared to broader appellation offerings. Elevate your wine collection or special occasion with this rare expression of Chablis’ finest terrain—where age-old vines and prime geological conditions converge to create unforgettable sips.
