The most south-westerly of all the Chablis Premiers Crus, Les Beauregards is one of the coolest due to its altitude and place at the end of Chablis’ Left Bank. It’s also one of the steepest (meaning the clay soils are shallow, and the limestone marl is never far from the surface) and one of the highest, rising to 300 metres. While this small, 0.16-hectare parcel has been in the family’s hands for decades, it was replanted in 2001 with mass-selection cuttings from Stéphane Moreau’s most treasured vines. Now that the new vines have reached 20 years’ age, Virginie Moreau believes they deliver sufficient intensity to join the Moreau-Naudet lineup.
High on the hill, Moreau farms almost one hectare of vines that catch only the sun's coolest rays. This means Les Beauregards is one of the last vineyards to be harvested. All these factors develop a wine of excellent tension, with pithy citrus notes that course through the palate. Les Beauregards is noted for its floral side, though we also sensed a more savoury and spicy edge to the fruit. Raised in stainless steel only.
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
