The Naudet family has been making wine since the 17th century, but Domaine Moreau-Naudet itself was established in 1950, upon the marriage of Mademoiselle Marie Naudet and Monsieur René Moreau. The domaine has passed from father to son, and since taking over from his father Roger in 1991, Stéphane Moreau has gained huge and wide-spread recognition for his wines, and is now firmly established as one of the top producers in Chablis. Stéphane refuses to spray weed killers or any treatment against rot, and has used only organic fertilisers in weak doses for the last 15 years. He harvests slightly later than his neighbours to ensure perfect ripeness and to reduced yields. Harvest is by hand, and while his Villages and Petit Chablis spend 11 months in tank, he uses a small proportion of large old barrels on his 1er and Grand Cru Chablis to achieve a softening, stabilizing effect on the wines. Stéphane achieves additional complexity and flesh by holding the wine on the lees for much longer than his peers, even his straight villages wine spends 18 months on the lees.

Certified Sommelier
Somm (n.) - a shortened reference for sommelier, a trained and knowledgeable wine professional. SOMM (film) - a documentary by Director Jason Wise about the Master Sommelier examination. Similar to the celebrity chef phenomenon and due in-part to the documentary film series SOMM (available on Netflix), wine professionals are seeing their own emergence and nod on the global stage. We’re proud to introduce our own resident Somm and Managing Partner, Jake Assaf. Jake’s been a humble servant of the grape for more than 14 years and eagerly boasts ‘someone has got to taste wine and cheese for the rest of us.’ Jake is excellent at just that and is also a jedi master at pairing wines to perfectly suit your tastes and preferences. He personally selects the wines on our tap system (8 wines available on draft) and reserve bottle list. Our wines rotate frequently and aim to introduce you to wines you’ve never tried from producers you’ve likely not heard of. Not sure what you like? You're in good hands and we can't wait to pour you a proper glass.
