2023 Domaine Moreau-Naudet Chablis "Pargues Vieilles Vignes", Burgundy, France
ABOUT THE WINE
This cuvée comes from older Chardonnay vines rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone soils, which naturally yield lower quantities of more concentrated fruit. The 2023 vintage highlights both ripeness and precision, giving the wine a broader mid-palate while preserving Chablis’ hallmark tension and clarity.
Aromatically, it shows a deeper profile than the standard Chablis bottling, with ripe citrus, orchard fruit, and faint floral notes complemented by a distinct stony character. Domaine Moreau-Naudet continues its minimal-intervention philosophy here, farming sustainably and relying on native yeast fermentations. The wine is aged in a combination of stainless steel and neutral vessels, allowing the texture from vine age to shine without overt oak influence.
On the palate, the Vieilles Vignes stands out for its added weight and complexity—layered, yet still precise. The acidity remains vibrant, carrying flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and mineral through a persistent, slightly saline finish. This structure makes it particularly well-suited for richer seafood dishes such as lobster, scallops, or creamy fish preparations, as well as roast chicken and aged cheeses.
