The 2022 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru, 80% aged in used barrels, has quite a striking and powerful bouquet. It evinces a bit of wood contact that will need a few months to be fully subsumed, yet there is plenty of fruit to soak that up. The palate is very well-balanced, with a bright entry, peachy and zesty. The 2022 has quite a precocious, irresistible finish. It's not the most complex Vaudésir, but you'll have no regrets finding it in your glass. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2024)

The 2022 Chablis Vau de Vey 1er Cru was half-aged in a 5-year-old barrel and half in stainless steel. It takes time to settle on the nose, showing ample yellow fruit infused with crushed stone and light lanolin aromas. The palate is well-balanced, with mango and peach on the entry. It leans more towards the tropical side, though undeniably balanced with a deft touch of ginger on the finish. I'm intrigued to see how this will age in bottle. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2024)

Salty and highly delicious Chablis. Perfect weeknight white. — a month ago

I think the aggregate Delectable scores are misleading. Drinks more like a fresh Bordeaux blanc with Semillion, rather than the Colombard blend it is: very evocative & passion fruit nose, & on the palate lemon curd, more passion fruit, grapefruit essence, all wrapped into a solid acid spine. Verve & focus for about 10$. Feels true to type. I could imagine giving this to a Chardonnay lover to expand their palate. Medium light body. Really respect Mary Taylor for these selections, & their price point. — 2 months ago

The 2022 Chablis Vauprin has another impressive nose: taut and delineated. The mineralité of a Premier Cru with a clever reduction suggests some astute winemaking. The palate is nicely balanced, with a citrus-fresh entry, lively and animated, and a bright and vibrant finish. This is irresistible. Chapeau! Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis.

Lime and greengage in the nose. Refreshing with bright acid and salinity. Melon. A bit simple given the vineyard — a month ago
