DOMAINE MOREAU-NAUDET Montee de Tonnerre 1er Cru, Chablis

Dark purple. A heady, expansive bouquet evokes candied black and blue fruits, incense, violet and smoky minerals. Lush, palate-staining cassis and blueberry flavors show excellent clarity and vivacity for their power thanks to juicy acidity and a touch of peppery spices. Closes sweet, sappy, broad and extremely long, with smooth tannins coming on late.

Product Description: Depth, restraint and mineral authority define this rare white from one of the most revered cult domaines of southern France. Domaine de la Grange des Pères Blanc 2022 is produced in minute quantities from vineyards located near Aniane in the Languedoc, where limestone-rich, stony soils and a Mediterranean climate shape wines of remarkable tension and longevity. The wine is typically based on a Roussanne-dominant blend, often supported by Marsanne and other traditional varieties, crafted with the same uncompromising standards that have made the estate legendary. Hand-harvested fruit is vinified with precision and aged in barrel, allowing extended lees contact to build texture while preserving freshness and clarity. The 2022 vintage balances concentration with finesse, reflecting both ripeness and underlying mineral structure. Aromatically, it is complex and evolving, moving gradually from fruit to floral and savoury dimensions. On the palate, the wine is broad yet disciplined, driven by acidity and a stony backbone rather than overt richness. This is a white of intellectual depth and quiet power, demanding patience and rewarding contemplation. As with all releases from Domaine de la Grange des Pères, the 2022 Blanc is built to age gracefully and stands among the most serious white wines produced in the south of France.
