A small part is vinified in stainless steel - they are reining back the oak influence. Very intense pure green-tinged fruit, mineral, fat, tight - utterly brilliant - taut and long-term. Drinking range: 2020 - L&S (Nov 2015)

85% in older oak for 13 months. Creamy quince aroma with a hint of orange. Deep and firm and creamy on the palate but still vibrant and mineral. Tight, crisp and sustained, and deliciously mouth-watering. Streamlined rather than concentrated. Drinking range: 2017 - 2024 Rating: 17 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2016)
Deliberately made with no new oak, to avoid what Véronique Drouhin calls “the Beaune style”, this comes from two locations within the Grand Cru. It’s a very compact, backward wine with laser-like focus and notes of oyster shell and struck match. Very long and refined. Drinking range: 2017 - 2026 Rating: 95 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (Jan 2016)
Pale straw-yellow. Ripe peach and honey on the nose. Round, rich and mouthfilling, conveying a seductively glyceral texture without excess weight. Very ripe for the year and sexy in the early going. But the chewy, long finish conveys a dusty impression of extract and good energy. Drinking range: 2017 - 2022 Rating: 90 Stephen Tanzer, www.vinousmedia.com (Aug 2015)
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.

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)
