The wine is sourced from 60-year-old Chardonnay vines on the steep, southeast-facing slopes of Valmur, a terroir of limestone and marl that yields fruit with both density and precision. Fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel, it reflects a focus on clarity and mineral expression rather than oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"767\" data-end=\"1140\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe 2023 vintage is full-bodied and layered, showing remarkable mid-palate amplitude balanced by vibrant acidity. Aromas of beeswax, grapefruit zest and ripe pear open into a palate of chalk, citrus and subtle saline tension. This is a wine built for patience, powerful yet controlled, concentrated yet lifted. It shows Grand Cru Chablis at its most refined and articulate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"1080\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"941\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"945\" data-end=\"948\"\u003e– Beeswax \u0026amp; Citrus Zest\u003cbr data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"974\"\u003eA deep bouquet of beeswax, grapefruit zest and pear with oyster-shell minerality and subtle floral lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1082\" data-end=\"1234\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1088\" data-end=\"1091\"\u003e– Broad \u0026amp; Mineral-Driven\u003cbr data-start=\"1115\" data-end=\"1118\"\u003eFull-bodied and layered, showing concentrated fruit, flinty minerality and vibrant acidity through the mid-palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1236\" data-end=\"1351\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1245\"\u003e– Long \u0026amp; Saline\u003cbr data-start=\"1260\" data-end=\"1263\"\u003ePrecise and lingering with a fine saline note, persistent tension and mineral clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1353\" data-end=\"1894\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1372\" data-end=\"1375\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003e“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 rewards patience.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate, 94 pts \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1896\" data-end=\"2357\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1896\" data-end=\"2303\"\u003e“The 2023 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru has an understated nose that bides its time. … 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–four years because a fine Valmur will manifest with time.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Neal Martin, Vinous, 92 pts \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2359\" data-end=\"2475\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2491\" data-end=\"2494\"\u003eStyle - White\u003cbr data-start=\"2507\" data-end=\"2510\"\u003eVarietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr data-start=\"2531\" data-end=\"2534\"\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr data-start=\"2550\" data-end=\"2553\"\u003eRegion - Chablis, Grand Cru Valmur\u003cbr data-start=\"2587\" data-end=\"2590\"\u003eVintage - 2023\u003cbr data-start=\"2604\" data-end=\"2607\"\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr data-start=\"2626\" data-end=\"2629\"\u003eABV - 13%\u003cbr data-start=\"2640\" data-end=\"2643\"\u003eClosure - Cork\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moreau-Naudet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42072733286487,"sku":"DMNCHTVAL23","price":404.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/9fc94d99-228f-4b89-9968-6bec3952c487.jpg?v=1762076710","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.co.nz\/products\/domaine-moreau-naudet-chablis-grand-cru-valmur-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
