Description

The Domaine Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru 'Beauregard' showcases a unique, elevated slice of Chablis, shaped by the cooler, higher-altitude slopes of Les Beauregards on Chablis' Left Bank.

Virginie Moreau now leads the charge in this premier cru site, drawing on vines replanted in 2001 with rare massal selections, now hitting their prime at 20 years old. The result is a deeply mineral and intensely flavoured wine, balancing orchard fruits and floral notes with a wet-stone minerality.

Crafted with traditional, organic methods—hand-harvested, whole berry pressed, naturally fermented, and aged slowly in large oak—this Chablis is textured, refreshing, and faithful to the classic shape and style of the finest Chablis.

““The vines are now 25 years old. Previously the harvest was sold. A smaller, more shy nose. Hmm – this is effusive and energetic really broad and complex and I like the shape of this…” - Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report)

The most south-westerly of all the Chablis Premiers Crus, Les Beauregards is one of its coolest due to its altitude and location at the end of Chablis’ Left Bank. It’s also one of the steepest (meaning the clay soils are shallow, and the limestone marl is never far from the surface) and one of the highest, rising to 300 metres. While this parcel has been in the family’s hands for decades, it was replanted in 2001 with mass-selection cuttings from Stéphane Moreau’s most treasured vines. Now that the new vines have reached 20 years, Virginie Moreau believes they deliver the intensity to join the Moreau-Naudet lineup.

High on the hill, Moreau farms almost one hectare of vines that catch only the sun's coolest rays, meaning Les Beauregards is one of the last vineyards to be harvested. All these factors play out in tension, cut and pithy citrus notes that course through the palate. Les Beauregards is noted for its floral side, though we also sensed a more savoury and spicy edge to the fruit and added intensity (perhaps due to the lower-than-average yields). Raised in stainless steel, this is a gorgeous, earthy Chablis redolent of hedgerow blossom, brown spices and all kinds of citrus with a long, mouthwatering—even grippy—finish. Magic!

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
