2024 Louis Moreau Petit Chablis

The Louis Moreau Petit Chablis is a fresh, minerally white wine from northern Burgundy, made from 100% Chardonnay. This wine comes from the Petit Chablis appellation, which lies just outside the classic Chablis hills, yet still on the chalky soils characteristic of the region. Louis Moreau is known for its pure style, where terroir and elegance take center stage.

The vineyards are located around the picturesque villages of Beines and Chablis and cover 4 hectares. Vines have been planted here on sandy soil since 1987. Thanks to their location on the sunny plateaus, the grapes have ample opportunity to ripen perfectly. The Chardonnay grapes for this Petit Chablis are picked at the end of the harvest season, ensuring each grape is bursting with flavor. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation to soften the wine. The wine is then aged in tanks for at least another four months, preserving its freshness and fruitiness by bottling in small batches upon request.

Colour:
The wine is clear, light yellow with a green tinge, typical of young, fresh Chardonnay from cooler climates.

Scent:
On the nose, the wine reveals vibrant aromas of citrus, green apple, and white flowers, combined with a subtle mineral note. There's no oak, preserving the freshness.

Taste:
The palate is crisp and fresh, with crisp acidity and a slightly salty undertone. The wine is dry, clean, and refreshing with notes of lime, Granny Smith apple, and a hint of chalk. The finish is clean and mineral, making it particularly well-suited for light dishes and seafood.
