Note di degustazione
(13.8% natural alcohol; bottled in September of 2016): Full, bright yellow. Reticent nose shows more minerality than the basic village offering. Very rich and plush on the palate but with an edge of orange zest and a repeating element of minerality giving some shape to this distinctly large-scaled, rather exotic Chablis. Finishes powerful and fairly long but with a bit of alcoholic warmth. Perhaps a bit clumsy today although not quite as extreme as it appeared to be a year ago, this wine may well close down in the bottle.

The 2015 Chablis en Vaudecorse has a lifted nose, more marine influenced with just a faint hint of seaweed ebbing away to reveal pink grapefruit and light dandelion aromas. The palate is very well balanced with impressive weight right from the start. The acidity cuts through the richness of this Vaudécorse and delivers quite a potent, spicy “kiss” on the finish. This is excellent, more premier cru quality than village cru quality.
(the crop level was a moderate 39 hectoliters per hectare from these millerandé 35-year-old vines): Full medium yellow. Very ripe aroma of tropical fruits, marzipan, licorice and honey, plus a hint of toast. Hugely rich, even a bit extreme, conveying a distinct thickness to its flavors of pineapple candy, lichee and spices. In a powerful style and a bit tighter-grained than the old-vines village cuvée . Picq told me that this wine was more explosive a month before my visit and believes it's a good sign that the wine is now showing more structure.
