2024 Louis Moreau Chablis, Burgundy

Clean, coastal energy straight out of Chablis. Louis Moreau keeps things traditional and unfussy, farming Kimmeridgian limestone and letting that oyster shell character come through without distraction. This is the kind of wine that reminds you why Chablis became the benchmark for crisp, mineral Chardonnay in the first place.

The 2024 leans bright and direct. Lemon zest, green apple and a squeeze of lime sit front and centre, with a faint white peach note softening the edges. There’s a clear mineral imprint running through it, chalk, sea spray and a subtle flinty lift that keeps things interesting.

It’s all about tension on the palate. Light to medium in weight, driven by a clean, mouthwatering acidity that gives the wine real snap. The fruit stays tight and focused before finishing dry, with a saline edge that lingers and pulls you back for another sip.

Winemaking stays out of the way, stainless steel, careful handling, nothing flashy, just a pure expression of site and variety.

This is built for fresh, sharp flavours. Oysters with lemon, prawns straight off the grill, or a plate of sashimi all feel spot on. It also works with fish and chips, a simple crab salad, or even something like tempura vegetables, where that crisp acidity cuts through and keeps everything lively.

Drink it young while it’s all about freshness and precision.
