The Valmur vineyard covers around 12 hectares and forms a small valley in the heart of the Grand Cru slope. It’s wedged between Vaudésir and Grenouilles to its left and Les Clos to its right. It’s a site that gets very cold in winter and hotter than average in summer, producing authoritative and intense wines of serious depth and power. Moreau-Naudet farms a 0.6-hectare parcel (worked by horse) planted in 1978. Situated next door to the vines of Raveneau, Moreau’s plot is cooler and more shaded. Combined with the steepness of the slope, this leads to the wine’s strong mineral, saline imprint, which shines through the depth and texture. This wine is now vinified without oak, in small stainless-steel ‘barrels’. Simply a great wine, this reminded us of a top Chevalier-Montrachet! Enough said. “Airy aromatics but with width again, there’s more density here. It’s the definition of fluid yet retaining such weight that makes this distinct. Then the flavour bursts wide over the palate – great wine.” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
