2022 Domaine Moreau-Naudet Beauregard Chablis Premier Cru Magnum (1500ml)

Chablis, FRANCE
$380. 00
Bottle
$4560.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Diam Cork

The most south-westerly of all the Chablis Premiers Crus, Les Beauregards is one of its coolest due to its altitude and location at the end of Chablis’ Left Bank. It’s also one of the steepest (meaning the clay soils are shallow, and the limestone marl is never far from the surface) and one of the highest, rising to 300 metres. While this parcel has been in the family’s hands for decades, it was replanted in 2001 with mass-selection cuttings from Stéphane Moreau’s most treasured vines. Now that the new vines have reached 20 years, Virginie Moreau believes they deliver the intensity to join the Moreau-Naudet lineup. High on the hill, Moreau farms almost one hectare of vines that catch only the sun's coolest rays, meaning Les Beauregards is one of the last vineyards to be harvested. All these factors play out in tension, cut and pithy citrus notes that course through the palate.

2022 Domaine Moreau-Naudet Vaillons Chablis Premier Cru

Chablis, FRANCE
$155. 00
Bottle
$1860.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Diam Cork

On the left bank of the Serein and the middle of the slope, Vaillons is a particularly well-positioned Premier Cru that enjoys an excellent reputation thanks to the work of several key growers. The domaine works with vines planted in 1974 in the lieux-dits of Les Epinottes (a cooler part of the vineyard) and Roncières (which provides more flesh). Then, a parcel of 75-year-old vines in Sécher usually accounts for 30% of the blend and provides intense mineral cut and structure. The wine fermented and aged in both tank and older barrels. Each parcel was vinified separately before blending.

ABV: 13%

Closure: Diam Cork

One of the greatest Premier Cru terroirs of Chablis, Montée de Tonnerre has a sandy, rocky topsoil rich in Kimmeridgian limestone. The one-hectare parcel that produces this wine is situated within the lieu-dit of Chapelot, which is separated from the Grand Cru Blanchot by a narrow ravine. The vines cover two contiguous plots, one 50 years old and a second parcel recently replanted. This is regularly the most mineral, chalky, deep and powerful Premier Cru Chablis in the range.

Other Reviews....
A youthfully structured classic, the 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre opens to reveal notes of green apple and crisp stone fruit mingled with clear honey, beeswax and oyster shell. Medium to full-bodied, layered and chalky, it's taut and concentrated, with excellent depth and a penetrating finish. Drink 2025-2042.

2021 Domaine Moreau-Naudet Petit Chablis

Chablis, FRANCE
$86. 99
Bottle
$1043.88 Dozen

ABV: 12%

Closure: Cork

Moreau’s Petit Chablis comes from a single 2.5-hectare site in Beine, just outside Chablis on the way to Auxerre. It has a southwest orientation and lies on Kimmeridgian soils (as opposed to the higher Portlandian soils on which most Petit is grown). Half of the plot is home to 25 to 30 year old vines, while the other half is somewhat older at 45 to 50 years old. Naturally fermented, this wine was vinified in large vats of 32 to 100 hectolitres.

Chablis, FRANCE
$99. 99
Bottle
$1199.88 Dozen

ABV: 12%

Closure: Cork

Moreau’s village Chablis is drawn mostly from 20 to 30 year old vineyards in Préhy and Courgis, both in the south of Chablis. Then, there are parcels in Chablis and Chichée (under the Premier Cru Vaugiraut). All up, the domaine has the luxury of working 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, which perennially helps Moreau deliver a Chablis greater than the sum of its parts.
The Chablis was picked over various dates, depending on the plot. The fruit was subject to a very gentle four-hour press, and the juice was fermented with natural yeasts (a rarity in Chablis). It was raised mostly in tank, yet the élevage was unhurried. This spent 20 months on lees, considerably longer than most Chablis of this level. These traditional methods, along with hand-harvesting, the quality of the terroir, low yields and the full ripeness levels at which the fruit is harvested help to explain the mouth coating texture, salty depths and the quality that is on offer.

Chablis, FRANCE
$74. 99
Bottle
$899.88 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
This too reflects a discreet exoticism on the dried yellow orchard fruit nose where a hint of quinine lurks in the background. Like the Petit Chablis, the flavors are so dense as to be almost thick and creamy though there is slightly firmer acidity supporting the finish. This isn't what I would describe as typical but it's interesting in its fashion. I would make the same observation here about aging as 2 years should see this at its best. Drink 2023+.

The 2019 Chablis Village is very demonstrative, bursting from the glass with notes of citrus oil, honeycomb, white flowers and oyster shell. Medium to full-bodied, layered and satiny, it's fleshy and charming, concluding with a saline finish. Note that there will be a second, later bottling of this cuvée, which I'd expect to show more structure and sapid nuance. Drink 2021 - 2033.

Ripe aromas of pear, apple, lemon zest and floral nuances also reflect a background hint of volatile acidity. The extraordinarily rich medium-bodied flavors possess a succulent and round texture while the markedly saline and ever-so-mildly warm finish is noticeably drier if not necessarily longer. Drink 2023+.

Aromas of honeyed pears, citrus oil, almond paste and struck match introduce the 2019 Chablis Pargues Vieilles Vignes, a medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated wine that's deep and structured, with bright acids, chalky grip and a saline finish. Drink 2021 - 2035.

Cellar: Drink now - 5 Years (2020-2025)

ABV: 13%

Closure: Diam Cork

Moreau’s Villages wine is drawn from 20- to 30-year-old vineyards in Préhy and Courgis, in the south of Chablis. The fruit is subject to a very gentle four-hour press, and the juice is fermented with natural yeasts (a rarity in Chablis). Raised mostly in tank, (it’s not until the Vieilles Vignes level and above that Moreau utilises (older) barrels in significant percentages), the wine spent 20 months on lees which is considerably longer than the vast majority of Chablis at this level. These traditional methods—along with hand-harvesting, the quality of the terroir, low yields (circa 35 hl/ha) and the full ripeness levels at which the fruit was harvested—help to explain the fabulous texture, depth and quality that is on offer here.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a faint greenish tinge around the outskirts and a watery hue. Elevated pear and lime scents meld into dried honey, wet stone and subtle oyster shell notes. On the palate delicious pear, lime and green apple fruits are layered over a back drop of discreet dried honey characters, light oyster shell and stony mineral characters. Beautifully rounded in the mouth, almost supple like in its feel, it finishes dry with brisk acidity and a long sleek yet well cut aftertaste.
A very tasty Chablis to drink over the next 4-5 years.

Burgundy, FRANCE
$140. 00
Bottle
$1680.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Based in the village of La Roche Vineuse, Olivier Merlin and his wife Corinne founded their domain in 1987 after taking over the 4.5ha of vineyards of the 200-year-old Domaine du Vieux Saint-Sorlin. Since then they have grown to now include 26 hectares of vineyards stretching across Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Fuissé, Viré-Clessé, Moulin à Vent, along with their home in Macon's La Roche Vineuse. While not certified organic, from the beginning they have shunned the use of chemicals in their vineyards and maintain their soils with tilling between the rows. Winemaking is traditional with the handpicked grapes pressed as whole clusters before fermentation and maturation mainly in cask, where new oak use is decreasing year on year.
Other Reviews....
The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Chevrieres 1er Cru, one of Merlin's most precocious Premier Crus (0.65 hectares) has a touch of menthol on the nose that conveys real vigour. The palate is very well balanced with a silky-smooth entry, fine acidity, lightly spiced with a distant tang of lemongrass and stem ginger, chamomile and touches of bergamot furnishing the finish. What more could you want in a Pouilly-Fuissé? Drink 2023-2042.

A gentle note of ripe, yellow pear is pure on the nose of this wine, with the slightest edge of hazelnut and cinnamon. The palate adds bright but rounded freshness while the finish remains dry, shining with purity and poise.

A nicely shaped Chenin Blanc with pear, red apple skin and quince flavours to the fore.
Domaine Pichot is a 24Ha family estate in Vouvray on the right bank of the Loire, where vignerons dedicate their time to the cultivation of Chenin Blanc, locally coined ‘Pineau de la Loire’, to produce dry, sweet and sparkling whites. The Coteau de la Biche is the only vineyard of the estate, planted on silex layered over limestone slopes. It is the spot of choice to make dry whites of great class, displaying the richness of ripe Chenin with a minerality that can rival that of the grandest Chablis. The la Biche undergoes a combination of ferments in both stainless steel and 400 litre barrels.
Brilliant very pale straw colour with highlights of green to the surrounding edges and a watery hue. Pear, baked apple and quince aromas are trailed by faint honeysuckle and cinnamon spice notes. Delicious pear, red apple skin and quince flavours are nicely shaped across the mid palate with delicate honeysuckle and wet slate elements the undercard. Brisk acidity with a gentle chalky feel to the dry, elegant finish that shows good length.

Notes from producer....
Made from old vines located above the village further north of the domaine and its main vineyards of Coteau de la Biche in the vallee de Nouys. Just 13 gms/litre of residual sugar. Beautifully intense and fine with great length. Demi-sec Vouvray is, after sparkling Vouvray, the most popular wine of the appellation and perhaps the most typical showing chenin blanc at it most perfumed and expressive with just delicate sweetness balancing the lively acidity and giving great length and also ageing capacity to the wines. Demi-sec wines tasted at the domaine going back into the 1950’s are simply a revelation and among the great wines we will taste any year. The wine is so versatile with so many foods and also so delicious as a lip smacking aperitif there really is no excuse for this wine not being in every cellar and every fridge.

Domaine Pichot is a 24Ha family estate in Vouvray on the right bank of the Loire, where vignerons dedicate their time to the cultivation of Chenin Blanc, locally coined ‘Pineau de la Loire’, to produce dry, sweet and sparkling whites. The Coteau de la Biche is the only vineyard of the estate, planted on silex layered over limestone slopes. It is the spot of choice to make dry whites of great class, displaying the richness of ripe Chenin with a minerality that can rival that of the grandest Chablis. The la Biche undergoes a combination of ferments in both stainless steel and 400 litre barrels.

Brilliant water like colour with a faint tinge of green around the edges. Lifted ripe pear, red apple and honeysuckle aromas mix with musk, subtle quince and spice. Juicy pear and ripe red apple flavours dominate the palate with honeysuckle, baked fruit and spice elements also present. Texturally rounded in the mouth it finishes with good freshness and a delicious aftertaste that shows impressive length.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.

2018 Domaine Pierre Morey Batard Montrachet Grand Cru

Bottle
$11040.00 Dozen

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Pierre Morey became one of the most respected winemakers in Burgundy through the 1980's, and only enhanced his reputation further upon taking up the régisseur (general manager and head vigneron) role at Domaine Leflaive in 1988. All the while he ran his own domaine in Meursault with his daughter, Anne, beginning to work there too. When she was studying, Pierre sat Anne down and explained: “I can teach you a thing or two about making white wine, but I cannot with red so please pay extra attention in school to Pinot Noir!”. The proof is in the pudding, their red wines are now equally as first rate as their white wines. The wines of Domaine Pierre Morey are of the highest and most celebrated echelon in Burgundy. They have been farmed organically since 1993 and biodynamically since 1998. They are fine and structured yet ever so flavoursome. As the wines age they require air in the glass and tighten before your eyes.

Other Reviews....
Discreet wood sets off the white peach and panoply of citrus elements that exhibit a touch of phenolic character. There is excellent delineation and vibrancy to the broader-shouldered flavors that possess fine depth on the tautly muscular and powerful finish that is clean, dry and youthfully austere. This is also quite tightly wound and is definitely a wine that is going to require extended patience if you wish to experience it at its peak. In a word, lovely. Drink 2030+.

Aromas of green pear, almond paste, mandarin oil, honeyed yellow orchard fruit and pastry cream introduce the 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, a full-bodied, deep and muscular wine that's layered and concentrated, with lovely mid-palate amplitude and serious chalky structuring extract. This is a long and powerful Bâtard that will require bottle age to fulfill all its potential. Readers should note that this wine is identical with the Bâtard-Montrachet released under the Morey-Blanc label.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Feb 2020)

The 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comprises three-and-a-half barrels this year. It has an absolutely killer bouquet of intense, mineral-rich citrus fruit that gains vigor with aeration. Wonderful delineation and precision here, with oyster shell and estuarine scents emerging with time. The palate is very well balanced, delivering a precise, intense entry and enormous depth and volume in the mouth, but with counterbalancing tension on a long, spicy finish that fans out wonderfully. Superb. Drink 2024 - 2055.

A more complex and much more expressive nose freely offers up its combination of lemon grass, acacia blossom, mineral reduction and various white orchard fruit. The succulent, round and solidly concentrated flavors exude more evident minerality on the clean, dry and compact finale. This is potentially outstanding for a villages level Meursault and well-worth checking out. Drink 2026+.

The 2018 Meursault Les Tessons reveals a lovely bouquet that mingles scents of citrus oil and green pear with hints of white flowers, blanched almonds and honeycomb. Medium to full-bodied, textural but racy, it's beautifully seamless and complete, structured around lively acids and chalky dry extract.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Feb 2020)

The 2018 Meursault Les Tessons comes from a single parcel close to Jean-Marc Roulot’s. It has a very pure and very Meursault bouquet with all the leitmotifs one expects: grilled walnut, touches of almond and a little passion fruit. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. A subtle spiciness defines that finish, which offers just the right amount of salinity. Superb. Drink 2022 - 2040.

An all but mute nose requires very aggressive swirling to liberate the aromas of pure apple and pear compote. The sleek, intense and delicious flavors are not especially dense but I very much like the texture of the lightly stony, clean and dry finale. This is quite backward at present but lovely. Drink 2024+.

The 2018 Meursault Village is the usual blend of three parcels from Pellands, Chaumes de Narvaux and Forge. It has a very intense bouquet for a Village, the honeysuckle and orange pith aromas storming from the glass. The palate is likewise intense and brimming with energy, and quite spicy in the mouth, with hints of stem ginger and pineapple. Long on the finish, this Village Cru punches above its weight. Drink 2022 - 2040.
