We have sourced them from some of our clients' private cellars, our friends in Europe, direct from the domaine or through our other trusted networks. On each product you will note an estimated time of arrival. Understand that these are only estimates, and to ensure that your wine arrives safely it may be longer. Utilizing this method allows us to offer some amazing wines and gives you the opportunity to secure them earlier.

"If you consider yourself a big enough wine dork, Chablis comes down to two camps: are you more Raveneau or more Dauvissat? Well, allow us to introduce you to a producer who has carved out their own nook and firmly cemented their own spot in that argument"

Moreau-Naudet

The Domaine came to be in 1950 after the marriage of the two families, both of whom had roots dating back to the 17th century in Chablis; Stéphane Moreau was born to craft the stuff. After deservedly capturing the eye and palate of so many with his delicious take on Chablis, Stéphane suddenly passed in 2016 at 47 years of age. Succeeded by his wife, Virginie and their assistant winemaker Coco, the estate was shepherded through the crisis and the quality maintained at an incredible level. 

By the time Stéphane passed, he and Virginie had grown the estate from the inherited 7 hectares to an impressive 20 hectares, and with that also lengthened the ageing of the wines, allowing for a softer, more textural and effusive wine. 

As in the vineyard the highest values are placed on organic treatment and perfect ripeness, in the cellar the emphasis is respect and delicate handling of the wines. There is a maximum of one third new oak - reserved for the Premier & Grand Crus, with stainless steel vats making up the remainder. AS mentioned, the time on the lees after fermenting is extensive, up to nearly two years which is why these wines don't taste as sharp and steely as many Chablis have been reputed to be; they are sensual, deep in flavor and long.

The most generously structured premier cru in the Moreau-Naudet portfolio this year, 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Montmains derives from four climats in this premier cru, including Butteaux. Its delicately sun-kissed fruit and expressiveness encouraged Virginie Moreau to vinify it entirely in stainless steel. Jumping from the glass with aromas of pear, pastries and tangerine zest, it’s full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, having attained 13.5% alcohol. While it may feel richest today, it will generously reward patience.

The 2023 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru has a fresh, stony bouquet that blossoms in the glass with orchard fruit and petrichor scents. The palate is very well balanced with a slightly petrolly reduction on the entry. There's good weight behind that and a potent, spicy finish that lingers in the mouth. The 2023 was shaped by the warmth of the growing season a little too much. Tasted blind at the BIVB offices in Chablis.
