This proved a hit at our Oxford tasting - fuller than the Petit Chablis, with good weight and richness for the mild price. L&S (Jan 2013)

Notes of mineral reduction, algae, pear and green fruit complement the very round and solidly wellconcentrated medium-bodied flavors that offer good richness on the clean, dry, lemony and mineral-inflected finish. This should reward 3 to 5 years of cellar time. 2017+ Rating: 87-89 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Oct 2013)

Smoky and attention grabbing. Lots of energy and drive but accessible already. VGV 2013-2017 Rating: 16 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2013)
Domaine Moreau-Naudet
A domaine of 25 hectares, of which 3 are in Petit Chablis, 11 or 12 in Chablis, 3 in Vaillons, 2 in Forets, 1.6 in Montmains, 0.86 in Montée de Tonnerre, and 0.58 in Valmur. (Yes, this does not make 25 - there are further parcels of young vines in the Courgis sector - Beauregards, Côte de Jouan and Goulotte, which are currently sold in bulk).
Virginie (Mimi) Moreau is proving more than equal to the task of taking over from her husband Stéphane. Stéphane, who was influenced by Vincent Dauvissat (who recommended him to us many years ago, and who remains an influence here) was vigneron whose star burned very brightly, and the domaine continues along the lines he set, working organically, hand-picking, aiming for optimum maturity while avoiding any botrytis influence.
The cellar-work is also masterful, using 30% barrel-élevage for all the Premier and the Grand Cru, but not in such a way that oakiness can readily be detected in the wines (all the barrels are steamed rather than charred and there is no new oak except for in the straight Chablis, and then only one barrel per 100hl in order to age it prior to using for the Premiers Crus).
Mimi's daughter Neil (Nelle) is a bright new addition to the team here and together there is a calm confidence in what they are doing, and the wines - full of racy character, textural depth and complexity, seem to be better with every vintage.

20-30% Pinot Blanc in the vineyard. Long fermentation, so still half-made when we tasted. Good volume and body, it's something a little different, but very likeable. Not very deep soils - it's on pebbles.
