2022 Domaine Moreau-Naudet Chablis Villages

Stéphane Moreau began making wine very young, experimenting with biodynamics, but possessed a gifted touch evident to everyone. He came from a family of vignerons, as far back as the 17th century. Stéphane passed away in 2016 — far too young. After a period of uncertainty, Stéphane’s wife, Virginie, and his assistant winemaker, Coco, voiced a strong commitment to continuing Stéphane’s vision. 2015 was the last vintage Stéphane made and subsequent vintages have remained true to his style.

Fermentation is always with indigenous yeast, followed by a long maceration on lees. The estate has focused on particularly long aging for Chablis, from 18 to 22 months.
