Pre Arrival Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Forets 2023

90 VM

Reviews:

The 2023 Chablis Fôret ler Cru has a well-defined bouquet with apple blossom, orange pith and light crushed stone scents. This has lovely focus and control. The palate is well balanced with admirable weight and tension. This is not a powerful Forêt by any means, but there is energy here and a persistent finish. Tasted blind at the BIVB offices in Chablis. Vinous Media 90

The domaine's holdings in Forets is made up of two parcels, totaling just under 2 hectares. The older parcel is of 60 year old vines and is right next to Vincent Dauvissat's holdings. The second is made up of younger vines (25 years old) and is next door to Raveneau's parcel of Forets. Forets identity among the geologically diverse premier crus in Chablis is one of notable power and intensity. It's soil is made up of a variety of different clays and decomposed rock over limestone which together with a southeastern exposure create a warm microclimate.
