- TASTING NOTE / ABOUT THE WINE: On the opposite flank of the Valvan valley from Vaillons with a deep soil of bleu d’argile (blue clay) and plenty of limestone rocks, Montmains tends to produce textbook Chablis of minerality and verve. This comes from 0.65 hectares of very old vines (70 years on average) in the lieux-dits of Les Monts Mains, Les Bouts des Butteaux and Vaux Miolot. The latter parcel on deeper, clayey soils is difficult to work but brings additional flesh and texture. This year, it was vinified and aged without oak to maximise the freshness, which has worked a treat. The depth of the site is there, but it is super fresh, balanced, and long. Bibendum
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: After the passing of Stéphane Moreau, the Domaine continues to thrive with Virginie Moreau leading the charge. Moreau-Naudet maintains small holdings among the most pedigreed crus of Chablis. In the vineyard, organic viticulture, hand harvesting, low yields and late picking are key while in the winery whole berry pressing, natural yeast fermentation, minimal use of sulfur, natural settling and long, slow élevage in large oak are all part of the Moreau-Naudet process. Moreau-Naudet’s wines are intense with mineral freshness interwoven through pulpy and sexy fruit. Their annual releases are fast becoming as anticipated as those from the big guns at Raveneau and Dauvissat.
