Domaine Moreau Naudet 2023 Chablis "Beauregard" 1er Cru 750ml

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.
