Description

A dry white blend of Sauvignon Blanc from Saint-Bris, skin contact Aligoté, and Chardonnay.

“Nuova Descriptio” is a vivid example of Alice and Olivier De Moor’s artistry, an experimental Vin de France that pushes boundaries while staying rooted in the purity and precision that define their work. The 2023 vintage is strikingly fresh and expressive, with lively acidity and layered notes of citrus zest, white flowers, crushed stone, and a whisper of wild herbs.

Crafted with minimal intervention and maximal intent, this is a wine that thrives on energy and elegance. Fermentation with native yeasts, no fining or filtration, and little to no sulphur allow the wine to speak in its most honest voice.

Quirky yet refined, vibrant yet serious, Nuova Descriptio 2023 is a joyful outlier that invites curiosity and rewards contemplation.

Pair this fruit-forward and ripe cuvée with jambon chablisienne.

Alice and Olivier De Moor

Alice and Olivier de Moor are highly respected winemakers in Chablis, known for their dedication to crafting pure, expressive wines that truly reflect the terroir of the region. Established in the early 1990s, their small, family-run domaine has become a beacon for natural winemaking in Burgundy. The de Moors cultivate their vineyards organically, working with old vines and focusing on low yields to ensure the highest quality fruit.
Their approach to winemaking is minimalist, with a strong emphasis on letting the character of the grapes and the land shine through. They avoid the use of chemicals in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar, allowing their wines to ferment naturally with indigenous yeasts. The result is a range of Chablis that are vibrant, complex, and deeply connected to their origins, showcasing the unique minerality and precision that the region is famous for.

The region's classification system includes Grand Cru, Premier Cru, Village, and Regional appellations, reflecting the hierarchy of quality and location. Burgundy’s vineyards, many with centuries-old histories, produce wines that are revered for their elegance, depth, and expression of terroir. Key towns include Beaune, the region’s wine capital, and Dijon, known for its historical ties to the Dukes of Burgundy.
