Domaine Moreau-Naudet’s 1er Cru Montmains Chablis is generous, verging on decadent, but it manages to maintain elegance and grace throughout. Chablis’ cool climate still leaves its mark in the form of ardent acidity, but that zip is complimented by rather ripe notes of yellow apple, green pair, custard, and white flowers. Indeed, the wine is rich and textured for Chablis, showing a creaminess in the mouth as result of extended lees aging. A restrained touch of new oak (and it is only a touch) offers the slightest hint of warm spice on the finish. A lovely white to enjoy on a cool fall day.
