Domaine Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru Forêts 2024 (1500ml)

“Opening in the glass with aromas of crisp pear, Granny Smith apple and lemon oil, mingled with notes of freshly baked bread, the 2024 Chablis 1er Cru Forêts is medium- to full-bodied, ample and bright, with a crisp core of fruit that simultaneously exhibits considerable ripeness for the vintage, framed by racy acids and a saline finish.”

“This is consistently among my favourite bottlings from this cellar. The 2024 shows exotic notes of passion fruit and kiwi, along with hints of verbena and star anise. The texture is silky and fine, with a touch of richness but nothing heavy. It is still on lees and will not be bottled until June or July of 2026. The grapes are from 1.9ha spread throughout the appellation; fermented and aged in tank.” 94 points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
