2024 Domaine Louis Moreau Petit Chablis

Aromas of green apple, white flowers, and lemon peel integrate with savory notes of wet stone and a hint of fresh herbs. The palate is light-bodied and exceptionally crisp, featuring a core of zesty citrus and a clean, linear texture. It displays a bracing acidity and a bright energy that leads to a dry finish marked by a refreshing mineral lift.

Winemaker Louis Moreau utilizes 100% Chardonnay fruit from the estate's high-plateau vineyards. The grapes are fermented with native yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve the high-toned aromatic purity and freshness. The wine matures on its fine lees for several months, a process that adds a subtle roundness to the mid-palate while allowing the primary fruit and sharp structural tension of the vintage to remain the focus.

The fruit is grown on the higher plateaus surrounding the Chablis valley in the Petit Chablis AOC. The site is defined by its Portlandian limestone soils, which are younger and harder than the Kimmeridgian soils found in the lower valley. These high-elevation vineyards are more exposed to the wind, resulting in a cooler microclimate that produces grapes with intense freshness and a vibrant, approachable character that reflects the purity of the northern Burgundian landscape.
