2011 Chablis Vaudesir

The wood has almost completely integrated with the ripe, pretty and complex lemon rind, iodine and mildly exotic yellow orchard fruit aromas. There is excellent intensity and concentration to the muscular and overtly powerful big-bodied flavors that brim with mouth coating dry extract before culminating in a dry, balanced and beautifully persistent finish where a hint of bitter lemon arises. This will require a few years of bottle age to fully integrate the wood treatment but it should be excellent in time. Tasted: Oct 15, 2013. Drink: 2018+
