What a killer Vaillons. This is insane. Perfumed nose of classic oyster shell, some nice green apple fruit and Meyer lemon. Smokey, saline, refined and even some apple butter. Great aromas. So refined and clean. Almost feels like there is so much more. Palate is so epic and deep with grace, depth and refinement. Juicy and serene with a sweetness the oyster juice quality. More west coast than east coast. So pure, resonant and long. What a great vintage 2014 is.

Aug 8th, 2018This was much better than the last time I had this bottle. So many times Chablis can be linear, acid, and mineral. This is one that has that but is more structured with a nice balance of fruit. This has started opening up nicely.

Palate has limestone, Meyer lemon, toasted honey, sour apple, and maybe a little oak? Medium body, medium+acid, medium alcohol, long finish. Really enjoyed this Chablis.

2014 Vintage. 13% Alcohol. Lovely acidity still going strong to carry the lemon, minerality and other citrus elements. Another #garagiste wine that delivers.

Excellent. Dill, lemon, sea salt, a touch of vanilla cream. On the palate, stunning acidity, lemon peel, lemon oil. Great density, nice finish.

Jun 24th, 2020Smacks you right in the face with a lot of acid. Pears, brine, chalk in the palette. Great wine, still tastes young and with all that acid I think will improve and complexify with age. Delightful now, wait a couple of years if you can!

Delicious. Dry, crispy, fruity, but not sweet
