Louis Moreau Domaine Petit Chablis AOC 2023 (750ml)

Louis Moreau's 2023 Petit Chablis is a Chardonnay from the smallest designated tier of Chablis, where the cool continental climate of northern Burgundy shapes lean, mineral white wines built on acidity and restraint.

The nose is immediately engaging, offering tart green apple, struck flint, and a whisper of smoke. On the palate, it's clean and well-composed, with a touch of warm spice on entry that keeps things interesting. The midpalate is softer than expected for the region, lacking some of the sharp mineral edge that typically defines Chablis at this level, which carries through to a finish that feels a touch diffuse. Still, there's real charm here, and the wine drinks with easy approachability.
