Vinous Neal Martin - 15 Sep 22
The 2021 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru comes from 1.20-hectares, the major parcel adjacent to Moutonne, on marn soils that tends to be picked earlier than others. It has a clean and precise bouquet with citrus lemon, a hint of petrichor and orange blossom - very engaging. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite edgy with lemon rind and a touch of mandarin, taut and linear on the finish. Nice verticality here, though I would be inclined to age this in bottle for three to four years.

Chablis

Chablis, the northernmost Burgundy region, is famed for its crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnay wines. Unlike rich, oaky Chardonnays, Chablis wines, influenced by the cool climate and limestone-rich soils, feature vibrant acidity and flavours of green apple, citrus, and flint. Ideal with seafood, especially oysters, Chablis wines come in four appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, and Chablis Grand Cru. Esteemed producers like Domaine William Fèvre, François Raveneau, and Vincent Dauvissat are known for their classic, terroir-expressive wines.
