Petit Chablis

Moreau-Naudet
A bright, mineral white from one of Chablis' most respected family estates, where the vines are worked with real care and low yields are the rule. Grown on Portlandian limestone just above the famous slopes, the Chardonnay here keeps its tension and energy right through to the finish. Think crisp green apple, lemon zest, white flowers and that signature flinty, chalky edge. Fermentation is gentle, with ageing on fine lees adding a touch of roundness without masking the freshness. Serve well chilled with oysters, goat's cheese or simply on its own — it's the kind of bottle that disappears quickly.
