Good citrus, fruity nose, quite simple but attractive.
Fruity attack, good balance, attractive mid palate, drinking well, fairly short.

Light flowery nose, complex and attractive.
Still a little austere and needs up to five years more in the cellar, this wine has great balance and good mouth feel, already attractive, good length.

2005 Moreau-Naudet & Fils Chablis 1er Cru Montmains

Very attractive, peachy, creamy nose with good complexity and a hint of aging.
Elegant, good balance, very complex, weighty with great length. This wine is still a bit austere and the oak is evident. It would benefit from another five years in the cellar.

2004 Moreau-Naudet & Fils Chablis Grand Cru Valmur
89 points
Quite a vegetal nose (peas), patience yields some sweetish fruit.
There's excellent minerality in the taste but this wine needs up to eight more years to integrate, it's far from at its best.

An oaky nose, vegetal notes (peas), quite attractive.
Although there's a fruity attack, you get the feel of alcohol, there's a lack of balance - not a classic chablis.

The nose gives you smokey cheese, grassy fruit and a little oak.
This is a very moreish wine, good balance, chablis writ large, a good mouthful.

The nose is fascinating, very flowery and fruity, complex.
Fruity (grapefruit), flinty, good balance, need up to ten years to smooth out the austerity, full and complex, great length.

2006 Verget Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos

A fruity nose with grass cushioning.
Still very oaky, youthful and has a long way to go, plenty of fruit and minerality, this won't peak for another 15 years.
