Tasting Notes
The 2023 Beauregard is a standout from Domaine Moreau Naudet, capturing the elegance and quiet power of this lesser known premier cru. Planted on a gentle southwest facing slope near the village of Milly, Beauregard tends to produce Chablis with a touch more weight and depth—qualities that Moreau Naudet channels into something both structured and supremely drinkable.
Organically farmed and biodynamically worked, the vines here are rooted in classic Kimmeridgian limestone, bringing clarity and a fine mineral thread to the wine. As always, fruit is hand harvested at full ripeness, then fermented with native yeasts and aged on lees without additions or corrections. The result is a wine that balances generosity with precision—white peach, lemon zest, and crushed oyster shell framed by firm acidity and a chalky finish.
More textural and layered than the village wine, the 2023 Beauregard offers immediate charm but has the bones to age beautifully. It is a premier cru with quiet confidence and a deep sense of place.
