Description
Domaine Moreau-Naudet Forets 1er Cru Chablis 2019
The domaine’s holdings in Forets is made up of two parcels, totaling just under 2 hectares. The older parcel is of 60 year old vines and is right next to Vincent Dauvissat’s holdings. The second is made up of younger vines (25 years old) and is next door to Raveneau’s parcel of Forets. Forets identity among the geologically diverse premier crus in Chablis is one of notable power and intensity. It’s soil is made up of a variety of different clays and decomposed rock over limestone which together with a southeastern exposure create a warm microclimate.
Domaine Moreau-Naudet will always hold a very sentimental place in our portfolio. We met Stéphane Moreau a couple of years ago through a good friend and the wines immediately moved us. Soon after the wines arrived stateside, they quickly became some of the most popular wines in our portfolio. Subsequent visits to the estate showed us how dedicated Stéphane was in crafting great expressions of some of the best sites in Chablis.
