The 2020 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet with light crushed stone scents percolating through the malic fruit. It's pretty austere, considering the vintage, though not necessarily in a bad way. The palate is well-balanced with good concentration and slightly creamy in texture, but the acidity keeps this tensile. It coheres impressively towards the finish with a persistent residual spiciness that tempts you back for more. Very fine. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Perfumed and charming, the 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons bursts with aromas of orange blossom, crisp apricot, pear and freshly baked bread. Medium-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with bright acids and a saline finish, it's one of the more demonstrative wines in the range.

Lightly floral nose and silky smooth on the palate. Marked acidity is not yet integrated. This is still in a lemony, unknit phase. (JR)
