2023 Louis Moreau Chablis

93 POINTS

Charles Curtis MW - Decanter

With its pale lemon yellow colour, pronounced aromas of citrus and ripe nectarine and touches of smoky reduction and hay, this grand cru shows lovely concentration and lively acidity that bring depth and carry it through an impressively long finish. The grapes come from five parcels in Les Clos that total 3.2ha. Gently crushed before fermentation; aged in stainless steel. Although approachable young, this has the substance to age.

Neal Martin - Vinous

The 2023 Chablis Village has a refined bouquet that's not complex but well defined with a light stony component mixed with orange blossom. The palate is balanced with a fresh mandarin- and nectarine-tinged entry, a keen thread of acidity and a spicy finish. This is a Chablis Village that holds your interest. Tasted blind at the BIVB offices in Chablis.

Neal Martin - Vinous

The 2023 Chablis Village has a simple, slightly plain bouquet with apple peelings and loamy scents, but overall, it lacks some vigor. The palate is slightly waxy on the entry and has a modest weight. The 2023 is pretty pithy, and a bit of extract imparts more complexity on the finish. Overall, this is a decent Chablis Village. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis.
