Chablis Grand Cru Valmur Moreau Naudet 2024

Chablis Grand Cru Valmur Moreau Naudet: the controlled power of a great terroir

The Chablis Grand Cru Valmur Moreau Naudet embodies one of the most accomplished expressions of Chardonnay on the Kimmeridgian soils of Chablis. Located in the heart of the Grands Crus, the Valmur climate is recognized for producing wines that combine intensity, precision, and remarkable aging potential.

At Domaine Moreau-Naudet, this parcel benefits from a demanding approach where every decision aims to preserve the identity of the terroir. The yields remain controlled, the grapes are harvested at perfect maturity, and the vinifications prioritize balance rather than the demonstration of power.

The result is a wine of great depth, capable of captivating from its youth while developing exceptional complexity after several years in the cellar.

An emblematic estate of the Chablis renaissance

The Domaine Moreau-Naudet is now one of the essential references of the appellation. Its style is based on a simple idea: to let the terroir express itself without excessive intervention.

The vines are cultivated with a deep respect for natural balances. The soils are worked to promote rooting, while manual harvesting allows for a rigorous selection of the grapes.

The fermentations occur naturally when conditions allow. The aging, carried out in tanks and barrels depending on the cuvées, always seeks harmony rather than the mark of wood.

This philosophy gives rise to Chablis of great precision, where freshness remains the guiding thread.

A faithful interpretation of the terroir

Each vintage retains its personality.

The estate's objective is to accompany the wine without masking its origin.

Chablis Grand Cru Valmur Moreau Naudet and the Valmur terroir

The Chablis Grand Cru Valmur Moreau Naudet comes from a climate located between Les Clos and Vaudésir, on slopes benefiting from excellent exposure.

The subsoil consists of Kimmeridgian marls rich in marine fossils. This unique geology provides Chardonnay with a characteristic tension as well as a saline sensation that extends the tasting experience.

Valmur often stands out for having a broader structure than some other Grands Crus of Chablis. However, this generosity is perfectly balanced by a natural acidity that retains the wine's energy.

Over the years, this alliance between richness and freshness allows the wine to gain complexity without losing its precision.

A singular personality

Valmur naturally combines volume, finesse, and depth.

This identity makes this climate one of the most sought after in the appellation.

A tasting between energy and depth

The color presents a beautiful pale gold with brilliant reflections.

The nose opens with notes of lemon, grapefruit, crunchy apple, and white flowers.

After a few moments, aromas of flint, oyster shell, fresh butter, hazelnut, and dried fruits emerge.

On the palate, the attack is lively and precise.

The mid-palate gradually gains in amplitude without ever losing its tension.

The finish impresses with its length, salinity, and mineral expression that directly evokes the great Chablis terroirs.

A remarkable mineral signature

The Chablis Grand Cru Valmur Moreau Naudet always prioritizes precision over exuberance.

Each tasting reveals a little more of the complexity of the terroir.
