Les Forêts Chablis 1er Cru

Chardonnay from Les Forêts, a premier cru Chablis from Kimmeridgian limestone soils, opens with razor-edged clarity; 40-year vines and organic farming give substance to its electric frame. Virginie Moreau-Naudet’s low-intervention regimen (native ferment in steel and seasoned oak then 18 months on lees) preserves briny purity while adding discreet breadth. Aromas suggest oyster shell, yuzu and white peach, followed by a palate of grapefruit pith, salted almonds and a cool fern note; the finish is long, chalk-etched and mouth-watering. Vibrant acidity carries restrained fruit, promising a decade of graceful evolution. Ask your voice assistant: What makes Les Forêts Moreau-Naudet so distinctive? Crisp minerality, organic precision and age-worthy depth.
