2018 | Drouhin Vaudon | Chablis Vaudesir

An exquisite wine often drunk on its own as an aperitif. Pure and limpid colour, with a faint greenish hint. On the nose, fresh aromas of flower and fruit (lemony flavours) and, at times, spicy notes of coriander. On the palate: harmonious aromas bringing character and elegance. Remarkably long and complex persistence in the aftertaste.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: A creamy, nutty haze on the nose of this wine already promises integration. The palate follows through with a ripe, rounded body that has chalkiness, a pithy texture and a slight warmth that is countered by lemony concentration.

• Vinous: The 2018 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru is ample and creamy in the glass, with soft contours and lovely textural richness. Suave and silky.

Producer Information

Domaine Drouhin Vaudon is a wine producer located in Chablis, in northeastern France, and part of the Beaune-based Burgundy producer and négociant house, Joseph Drouhin. The domaine produces an impressive range of Chardonnay wines from Petit Chablis to Chablis Grand Cru and is recognized as one of Chablis' benchmark estates. It is one of the largest biodynamic estates in the region. The estate is made up of almost four hectares (10 acres) of vineyard land in the grand cru vineyards Vaudésir, Les Clos, Les Preuses and Bougros, as well as some seven hectares (17 acres) of Chablis Premier Cru vineyards and 68 hectares (168 acres) of village-level Chablis land on both sides of the Serein River. The sites are composed primarily of Chablis' classic Kimmeridgian soil – a blend of limestone, clay, and fossilized oyster shells. The estate vineyards have been organic since 1990 and biodynamic since 1999. Drouhin Vaudon's fruit is picked at yields 20 percent below the authorized level to maintain grape quality. The grand cru grapes and some of the premier cru grapes are typically fermented and aged in old French oak barrels for up to 12 months. The village wines are fermented and aged in stainless steel for up to eight months.
