The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Vau de Vey is the first vintage Mathias has produced from this newly acquired parcel, and the vines are in organic conversion. The slope is steel and prone to erosion, so a lot of the vineyard work has to be done by hand. Offering up notions of grapefruit, green apple, Meyer lemon and almond paste, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny but tensile, with a racy spine of acidity, good tension at the core and an elegantly chalky finish. This is a very serious effort that's worth attention. Drinking range: 2020 - 2030 Rating: 92 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Sept 2019)
