Racy and laced with mineral flavors, most of this vintage was fermented and and aged in large oak barrels, none of them new. A bit steely but expressive, medium-bodied and tangy with lemon, grapefruit and kiwi fruit flavors on vivid acidity. Drinkable now, but better after 2028.

Peach, melon, lime blossom and pastry flavors herald this supple white, which is harmonious and charming, with enough grip on the finish to merit a decade of development. Fine length. Drinking range: 2024 - 2032 Rating: 93 Bruce Sanderson, The Wine Spectator (May 2024)
Frost protection over 12 nights of lighting candles was successful but stressful. Fermented in 500-litre barrels and no new oak. Recently racked off lees. Tank sample. Tastes like a really juicy, tasty Côte d’Or white rather than classic Chablis. Quite full-bodied. Good wine! Pear juice with a squeeze of lemon. Quite long. Drinking range: 2025 - 2033 Rating: 17 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Dec 2023)
Made in 500 litre barrels, not new. Mid lemon yellow, very juicy fruit, attractive but not especially Chablisien. Some minerals behind but I am not really seeing the authority of this great vineyard. Drink from 2028-2034. Drinking range: 2028 - 2034 Rating: *** Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Nov 2023)
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.
