Stéphane Moreau used to call Forêts “one of the greatest terroirs of Chablis.” It’s a historical sub-plot within the Premier Cru Montmains, high up the slope and facing southeast. It can undoubtedly produce Chablis of the highest order, as both Dauvissat and Moreau have shown many times (Raveneau also has a small parcel). Moreau farms two plots of vines here, totalling just under two hectares. The first plot hugs Vincent Dauvissat’s parcel, and shares a vine age of 60 years. The second (with 25-year-old vines) sits next to the Raveneau plot. As with all the Premier Cru wines (apart from Montmains), the wine fermented and aged in both steel tank and used barrels (30%) of various sizes. The maturation period now extends to two years.

Reviews

“Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of beeswax, orange zest and pear, mingling with oyster shell, it’s medium to full-bodied, layered and tense, with vibrant acidity and excellent cut. It concludes with a pure, chalky finish. Virginie Moreau admits that in recent years she has given a slight preference to Forêts over the expressiveness of Vaillons. Readers will be able to make their own conclusions, as both wines come warmly recommended.”
92-94 points, Kristaps Karklins, The Wine Advocate
“Beautiful, quite direct an even a silkiness to these aromas – love it! Extra mineral width panoramic – gorgeously flavoured – very mineral. Much as I loved the Montmains, that’s a greater wine – bravo! Probably for bottling in June.”
