Domaine Moreau-Naudet, Forets 1er Cru Chablis 2021

93 points Wine Advocate
"Unwinding in the glass with scents of peach, pear and orange zest mingled with white flowers and freshly baked bread, the 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Forêts is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, exhibiting impressive ripeness for the vintage, racy acids and a long, saline finish. This is a terrific effort in a challenging year."

Vinous Reverie Notes
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.
