Tasting notes
From a 0.16-hectare parcel of 25-year-old-vines and vinified entirely in tank, 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Beauregard is only the second edition Moreau has produced. Facing south but with a steep 40% incline, it has delivered a beautifully lively wine that unfurls to reveal notions of white flowers, grapefruit zest and green apple. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied, bright and incisive, with considerable energy and cut, concluding with a sapid finish. With just 12.5% alcohol, it’s the lowest level among premiers crus in the range this year.

The 2023 Chablis Beauregard 1er Cru has a very backward nose that demands coaxing to reveal a light marine influence, with hints of shucked oyster shells. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity and a fresh, orange cordial-tinged entry. It feels cohesive and persistent on the finish, with a dab of spice on the aftertaste. This is very promising. Tasted blind at the BIVB offices in Chablis.
