Tasting notes
The 2021 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru is clean and precise on the nose: Granny Smiths, Alpine stream and light oyster shell scents unfold in the glass. The palate is well balanced with quite a powerful entry. More peppery in style, it gains weight towards the finish that gradually fans out. This leaves a good impression and beckons you back for another sip. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent is another of the range's highlights, bursting with aromas of white flowers, sweet citrus oil, white peach and blanched almonds. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's concentrated and complete, with racy acids and a saline, orange blossom-inflected finish.
Cask sample. Finely chiselled, even a little austere at this point. Could even be a little underripe for perfection. There's a hardness on the end. Andy Howard MW says this wine was showing much better at a tasting he attended previously. (JR)
