Moreau-Naudet Montmains Chardonnay 2022

Rare Burgundy Expression from Historic Blue Clay Vineyards

Savor the concentrated character of Chablis’ premier Cru Montmains through this meticulously crafted Chardonnay. Grown on a singular 0.65-hectare parcel featuring vines averaging 55 years old – their roots penetrating nutrient-dense blue clay subsoil that imparts signature saline-mineral complexity.

Terroir-First Winemaking
Our winemaker employs restrained oak influence (10% new oak vs typical 30%) to preserve vibrant acidity and pure fruit expression. The result? A layered profile showcasing lemon zest brightness interwoven with toasted almond notes and chalky undertones from the distinctive bleu d’argile terroir.

Palate Profile
• Crisp acidity framing ripe green apple and pear
• Subtle smokiness from ancient Kimmeridgian limestone
• Lingering mineral finish characteristic of Montmains’ south-facing slopes

Why This Stands Out
✓ Ultra-low yield (0.65ha parcel) ensures intense concentration
✓ Biodynamic farming practices enhance soil vitality
✓ Perfect food pairing companion for oysters or aged Comté cheese

Note: As a Fine & Rare selection (13.5% ABV), this vintage qualifies for special cellar storage recommendations rather than standard discounts.
