Moreau-Naudet has managed to create outstanding wines (yet again) from a challenging vintage.

Super limited and extremely sought after by those that are in the know.

Tasting Notes:

On the left bank of the Serein and the middle of the slope, Vaillons is a particularly well-positioned Premier Cru that enjoys an excellent reputation thanks to the work of several key growers.

The domaine works with vines planted in 1974 in the lieux-dits of Les Epinottes (a cooler part of the vineyard) and Roncières (which provides more flesh).

Then, a parcel of 75-year-old vines in Sécher usually accounts for 30% of the blend and provides intense mineral cut and structure.

The wine was fermented and aged in both tank and older barrels.

Each parcel was vinified separately before being blended.

A terrific Vaillons that will certainly get better with another few years in the bottle.
