2022 Domaine Moreau-Naudet Forets, Chablis Premier Cru, France
$74.00
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. While there is far from a recipe in the cellar, Domaine Moreau-Naudet's premier crus and single grand cru wine follow a very consistent fermentation and aging regimen. Fermentation is always with indigenous yeast, followed by a long maceration on lees. The wine is then aged for an average of 18 months (varies according to the vintage) on lees in a combination of stainless steel and 600-liter French oak barrels of which only 20% is new. (Most of the wine is aged in stainless steel, with around 2/3 in steel and 1/3 in oak.).
