Vaulorent Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017

Really good. Nose has deep chalky, brothy earthiness, ripe Chardonnay fruit, a touch of oak. The palate is ripe and deep, but there’s nice acidity keeping it lively. Loads of dry extract. As the deep fruit fades, minerality and a cleansing bitter note replaces it. Wow. Vaulorent really is a cut above most other 1er crus. Side note: my first Chablis ever (my last year of college) was a Robert Vocoret Vaulorent (‘75 I think) from the close-out bin of a center city Philly state liquor store. I remember being amazed by it. — 2 months ago

Chablis Chardonnay 2020

Takes about 60 minutes to coax out the typical Chablis characteristics. Rich citrus fruits, mother of pearl salinity. The acid is there, but the dense fruit is overpowering at the moment. I suspect with time this will flesh out. Longish finish. Very good. — 3 months ago
