Diam. Moreau’s Petit Chablis comes from a single 2.5 hectare site in Biene, just outside Chablis, on the way to Auxerre. It has a south-west orientation and lies on Kimmeridgian soils (as opposed to the higher Portlandian soils on which much Petit is grown). Half of the plot is home to 25-30 year old vines, while the other half is somewhat older at 45-50 years old.
Naturally fermented, this is vinified in large vats of 32-100 hectolitres. This really has some gravitas and charisma for a Petit Chablis. The nose is a brew of youthful vivacity, its freshness and elegance tinged with lime and lemon curd. It has thirst-quenching acidity balanced by a textured mid-palate, delivering a delicious wave of lip-smacking yellow apple, beeswax and white honey flavour. The tangy finish shimmers with a stony undertone and chalky freshness.
