Stephane Moreau proves himself again with this excellent 'basic' wine, a really terrific value buy, full, quite opulent even, but still tense and mineral - classic village Chablis in any other cellar. L&S (Dec 2011)

The expressive nose is bright and citrusy with notes of green fruit and iodine in evidence as well. There is fine intensity to the racy, clean and well-detailed flavors that terminate in a very dry and delicious finish. This would make a lovely choice for a house white if you enjoy crisp Chablis that has a bit of upside potential to it. 2014+ Rating: 87 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Oct 2012)
The Petit Chablis has a crisp nose of grass clippings and dewy green apples with fine delineation. It is nicely balanced with citrus-like acidity with simple green apply fruit on the finish. Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jul 2012)
Light and a bit tart but much fruitier and more succulent than most Petit Chablis. Well done! GV. 2012-2013 Rating: 15.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2012)
Domaine Moreau-Naudet
A domaine of 25 hectares, of which 3 are in Petit Chablis, 11 or 12 in Chablis, 0.58 in Beauregard, 3 in Vaillons, 2 in Forets, 1.6 in Montmains, 0.86 in Montée de Tonnerre, and 0.58 in Valmur. (Yes, this does not make 25 - there are further parcels of young vines in the Courgis sector - Côte de Jouan and Goulotte, which are currently sold in bulk).
Virginie (Mimi) Moreau is proving more than equal to the task of taking over from her husband Stéphane. Stéphane, who was influenced by Vincent Dauvissat (who recommended him to us many years ago, and who remains an influence here) was vigneron whose star burned very brightly, and the domaine continues along the lines he set, working organically, hand-picking, aiming for optimum maturity while avoiding any botrytis influence.
The cellar-work is also masterful, using 30% barrel-élevage for all the Premier and the Grand Cru, but not in such a way that oakiness can readily be detected in the wines (all the barrels are steamed rather than charred and there is no new oak except for in the straight Chablis, and then only one barrel per 100hl in order to age it prior to using for the Premiers Crus).
Mimi's daughter Neil (Nelle) is a bright new addition to the team here and together there is a calm confidence in what they are doing, and the wines - full of racy character, textural depth and complexity, seem to be better with every vintage.
