Then, there are parcels in Chablis and Chichée (under the Premier Cru vines of Vaugiraut\/Vosgros).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll up, the domaine works with 30 parcels scattered across the appellation, representing a variety of soil structures and exposures. All the fruit from the younger vines is sold off in bulk, lifting the general standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is pressed gently over four hours and ferments with natural yeasts (still a rarity in Chablis). It is raised mainly in the tank, and the maturation is unhurried. The wine then spends 20 months on lees, considerably longer than most Chablis of this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese traditional methods—along with hand-harvesting, the quality of the terroir, the low yields and the ripeness—help explain the mouthcoating texture, salty depths and overall quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eReviews\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__author\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“A much larger width of aroma.

Moreau crafted Chablis of such texture, depth and sheer hedonistic pleasure that his wines felt revolutionary. A devotee of legends like Vincent Dauvissat, Didier Dagueneau and Nadi Foucault of Clos Rougeard, Stéphane embodied the free-spirited generosity that defines Burgundy's greatest growers. His sudden passing on the eve of the 2016 harvest left Chablis bereft of one of its brightest stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eYet the story continues with remarkable grace. Under Stéphane's widow Virginie Moreau, the domaine has not merely survived—it has soared. La Revue du Vin de France recently elevated Moreau-Naudet to two stars, placing it behind only Raveneau and Dauvissat in Chablis' hierarchy. This ascension is testament to both Stéphane's enduring legacy and Virginie's extraordinary stewardship, achieved despite three frost-ravaged harvests in her first four vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eWhere generic Chablis offers crunchy citric bite, Moreau-Naudet delivers intense mineral freshness interwoven with pulpy, generous fruit—wines of profound personality that speak to meticulous farming, extended lees aging, and an uncompromising pursuit of place. As The Wine Advocate notes, these are \"some of the most characterful wines to be found in Chablis.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSnapshot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eRegion: Chablis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eCountry: France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eVintage: 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eAlcohol: 12.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eSize: 750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eClosure: Diam\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eVariety: Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca title=\"Buy Chardonnay \u0026amp; Chablis Wine Online\" href=\"https:\/\/actofwine.com.au\/collections\/chardonnay-chablis\"\u003eExplore our Chardonnay \u0026amp; Chablis collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca title=\"Buy French Wine Online\" href=\"https:\/\/actofwine.com.au\/collections\/france\"\u003eExplore our French Wine collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Moreau-Naudet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48404640727289,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2650\/0856\/files\/Bottle_Image_f5b40298-050a-4c36-a52a-b24749373be3.jpg?v=1778821583","url":"https:\/\/actofwine.com.au\/products\/2024-domaine-moreau-naudet-chablis","provider":"Act of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
