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.’ 





Domaine Moreau-Naudet Chablis Grand Cru Valmur 2023

Reviews

“Derived from 60-year-old vines growing on a rather steep slope and vinified entirely in stainless steel, the 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur is flamboyant, soaring from the glass with a deep bouquet of beeswax, grapefruit zest and pear. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, concentrated and layered, with more mid-palate amplitude than any other wine in the range, supported by vibrant acidity and concluding with a long, saline finish. It comes from a parcel just next to Raveneau’s, and like that example, it rewards patience”
93-94 points, Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate
“The 2023 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru has an understated nose that bides its time. I want this to give more, but it steadfastly refuses! The palate is much more expressive, with a fine bead of acidity and orchard fruit mixed with hints of chamomile and white tea. This finishes with precision and a slightly oily texture. I believe the aromatics were just closed on the day. Cellar this away for three to four years because I think a fine Valmur will manifest with time.”
92 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“Ooh – a nose with agrume and citrus skin attack – riper fruit supports but never too ripe. Really wide – depth too – you can feel the material but there’s no overt richness to distract. Sooo persistent – that’s a great finish. One of the best wines this year – and for me, no need to wait !!”
