Note di degustazione
Sourced from a rather sunny, precocious site, the flamboyant 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir opens with aromas of ripe citrus fruit, pear, peach and dried flowers. Full-bodied, the palate is giving yet precise, layered and underpinned by fine tension, with a fleshy core of fruit and a long, saline finish.

Cask/tank sample. High toned. Sculpted and refreshing though actually it would already be approachable, even though it would be a shame to drink it before it has developed more tertiary notes. (JR)
(from two separate parcels of vines, the larger of which is in the heart of the “amphitheater” from which the finest examples of Vaudésir originate). There is a vaguely exotic quality to the aromas of lemongrass, passion fruit, apple and whiffs of algae and oyster shell. The notably finer though not nearly as powerful middle weight flavors possess evident minerality on the super-sleek, balanced and impressively persistent finish. This borderline delicate effort also needs to develop better depth but the development potential seems quite clear. Drink 2031+
The 2023 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru, which is consistently the first to be picked, has a pretty nose with yellow fruit and a touch of chalk. The palate is fresh and quite linear in style, a "correct" Grand Cru. Steely and saline with a more austere finish compared to its peers. It will need some bottle age.
