Tasting Notes
Stéphane Moreau called Forêts “...one of the greatest terroirs of Chablis.” It’s a historical sub-plot within the 1er Cru Montmains, located high up the slope and facing southeast. It can certainly produce Chablis of the highest order, as both Dauvissat and Moreau have shown many times (Raveneau also has a small parcel). Moreau farms two plots of vines here, over a total of just under two hectares. The first is alongside the vineyard of Vincent Dauvissat, and the vines are the same age at approximately 60 years. The second (with 25-year-old vines) sits next to the Raveneau parcel.
As with all the 1er Cru wines from Moreau-Naudet the wine was aged and fermented in both steel tank and used barrels of various sizes. Pure and saline with core of ripe green apple, white peach and jasmine characters combined with mouth-watering restraint and effortless freshness. - Importer Note
Less is more! Minimal intervention or Lo-fi wines encapsulate those producers who keep additions and manipulations to a minimum during the winemaking process. This means the wines are wild fermented, unfiltered and unfined, and only add sulfur during the process.
