2022 Domaine Moreau-Naudet, Beauregard Chablis Premier Cru, France Descendientes de J. Palacios probably the closest to VouvrayOrganically farmed old vines on Kimmeridgian marl, hand harvested. Native yeast fermentation and aging in a mix of stainless and older barrels, minimal intervention. 2022 shows Beauregards south facing breadth, but with the domaines signature restraintchalk, citrus oil, and a savory edge. Textural, yet precise.
