This wine drinks like premier cru white burgundy for the price of Sancerre. Sign. Me. Up.
Organic farming practices and only 150 cases produced.
Moreau Naudet will forever be one of our most cherished producers. Known for producing Dauvissat-style wines, young or old, there is no question that it is always excellent – a perfect expression of Chablis. Attention Chablis nerds, the 2021 is for you.
Organic/biodynamic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation and women-winemaker.
Notes of fresh lemon, ripe pear and fresh flowers, rounded out with hints of apricot, cream and baking spice. Full bodied with crisp acidity and found finish.
Try serving the wine with seared salmon with crispy skin, a whole smoker roasted chicken or pumpkin ravioli.
This is a crisp, bright bistro wine and textbook Cabernet Franc. The price might say “entry-level” but the concentration and complexity suggests otherwise. Serve with a slight chill on it and enjoy with anything off the BBQ.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation, minimal sulfur addition, and only 1,000 cases produced.
