The 2018 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru is clean and precise on the nose, and more classically styled than the Vaillons or Fourchaume, with fragrant jasmine, white peach and lemon zest unfurling from the glass. The palate is clean and precise, the acidity beautifully judged, and there is wonderful delineation from start to finish. Linear in style, it does not fan out on the finish, but maintains a fine attack and leaves a lemongrass note tingling on the tongue. Excellent.
As usual, the 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent is one of the finest premiers crus in the cellar, delivering an incipiently complex bouquet of fresh peach, crisp green orchard fruit, dried white flowers, smoke and oyster shell. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and complete, it's layered and multidimensional, with fine depth at the core, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish.
Ripe, baked-apple notes suggest a generosity that carries through onto the palate. Not lacking acidity, this is more open and rounded than several of the Fèvre premiers crus. Long, nutty finish. (TJ)
