Note di degustazione
Honeyed, baked apples, with a rich palate of spice and cream. Long, creamy finish. Clear association with the 2018 tasted earlier . (TJ)

Very pale yellow-green. Restrained, pure aromas of citrus zest, white peach and white pepper. Densely packed and rich but precise too, with nicely integrated acidity and underlying minerality giving this wine good precision for the year. Has the balance to offer early enjoyment but also the inner-mouth tension to age. A round, seamless wine with excellent tasty persistence.
The 2013 Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent has a peachy, apricot-scented bouquet that is more outgoing and fruit-driven than the Fourchaume, although I do not discern the same level of mineralité. The palate is fresh and crisp, rounded in the mouth, but it is missing the tension and the drive of the 2014. Drink over the next 4 to 5 years.
A touch more aroma than any of the Fèvre Chablis so far: stony, green fruited, very direct. Direct on the palate too, pure and lively but lacks real depth at premier cru level. (JH)
