Domaine Moreau-Naudet Chablis Grand Cru Valmur 2020

Domaine Moreau-Naudet Chablis Grand Cru Valmur comes from a horse-worked parcel next door to the vines of Raveneau.

Valmur covers around twelve hectares and forms a small valley in the heart of the Chablis Grand Cru slope, wedged between Vaudésir and Grenouilles on one side and Les Clos on the other. Its mesoclimate is an extreme one, very cold in winter and hotter than average in summer, and it lends itself to authoritative wines of serious depth and power. The domaine farms a 0.6-hectare parcel planted in 1978 and worked by horse. Moreau's plot is a cooler, shaded site that takes time to warm up, and that, together with the steepness of the slope, accounts for the strong mineral and saline imprint running through the wine's depth and texture. The crop was tiny, the vines having suffered a little from summer drought, and the wine was vinified without any oak, in three stainless steel barrels.

Give it three to five years and drink over the following fifteen. Serve at 10–12°C with oysters, lobster or turbot.
