2009 Chablis; Domaine Moreau-Naudet
lemon, lime, slate, oyster sauce, grass and a herby perfume, zesty, orange peel, nice poise, balance and length, a touch short but it is a pleasant finish of citrus, grass and chalk. A bit of sap and fatness from the vintage. Balanced rather than crisp. Oyster shell, quite rich. Perfectly decent but it lacks that vitality and zip that one would want from a young Chablis. Hints of lemon butter, candle wax, and tree sap! 59-61/100
Jono Beagle's hundred point scoring system.
0-29/100 not worth bothering with
30-49/100 good wine but I wouldn't buy a case
50-59/100 very good showing grape and terroir character
60-69/100 excellent example of a wine from this country/region/grape
70-85/100 one of the very best wines that the region has to offer.
86-100/100 one of the very best wines you are ever likely to drink
