Description

Valmur is known for being one of the more powerful of the seven Chablis Grand Crus, but in the hands of Moreau Naudet, this power is tempered by elegance and crystalline finesse.

Their small patch within the cru vineyard is steep and shaded, that leaves a cooler, more minerally imprint on the final wine.

There is wonderful intensity and drive, citrus and grapefruit crunch and if finishes smooth and long. Gives immense instant pleasure but be in no rush to drink this excellent cellaring prospect.

94 points - "“Persistently complex and incisive, this is a structural dynamo. Chiseled and slightly foursquare, this deserves to be set aside at least a few years. There is real aromatic grit and complexity: hazelnuts, warm chalk and Bosc pear fresh citrus peels ignite the nose.” - Christy Canterbury MW (Tim Atkin Burgundy 2022 Special Report)

“Easy, fresh pure. Mouth-filling, juicy, good concentration. Long finishing with tiny bitters, making this wine already delicious.” - Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report)

The Valmur vineyard covers around 12 hectares and forms a small valley in the heart of the Grand Cru slope. It’s wedged between Vaudésir and Grenouilles to its left and Les Clos to its right. It’s a site that gets very cold in winter and hotter than average in summer, producing authoritative and intense wines of serious depth and power. Moreau-Naudet farms a 0.6-hectare parcel (worked by horse) planted in 1978. Situated next door to the vines of Raveneau, Moreau’s plot is cooler and more shaded. Combined with the steepness of the slope, this leads to the wine’s strong mineral, saline imprint, which shines through the depth and texture. This wine is now vinified without oak, in small stainless-steel ‘barrels’. Simply a great wine, this reminded us of a top Chevalier-Montrachet! Enough said.
