A vaguely exotic character suffuses the fresh, ripe and airy aromas of sea breeze, white orchard fruit and soft petrol scents. There is a round, caressing and already relatively tender mouth feel to the light mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess reasonably good energy before terminating in a focused, lingering and moderately dry finale. Like the Bougros this could be enjoyed young if desired. 2018+ Rating: 90 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Oct 2015)

Classic dusty Chablis nose. Lemon and lime leaf. Powdered chalky texture. Paper fine, juicy and gently creamy. Not deep but long.

The 2013 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir was cropped on October 3 and spent 11 months in oak and tank. It is a little spicier on the nose compared to the Chablis les Clos '13: attractive chalky scents emerging with continued aeration. The palate is succinctly balanced with touches of citrus peel and a vibrant spicy finish, fanning out with careless abandon on the satisfying finish. This is a sublime Chablis Grand Cru.

Domaine Drouhin Vaudon
The Beaune-based merchant Joseph Drouhin has restyled its Chablis Domaine 'Domaine Drouhin-Vaudon' to emphasise its ties with and holdings in (38 hectares) the Chablis vineyard. The Moulin de Vaudon, an 18th Century watermill straddling the Serein River, close to the Grand Cru vineyards of Chablis, is the headquarters and the source of the name. It is the largest estate in Chablis entirely farmed biodynamically.

Chardonnay.
From four different plots. Quite restrained on the nose. However, there is good concentration of fruit on the palate. Some toasty notes too. Not as powerful as some and perhaps lacking a shade of complexity to push it in...(read more)
