2019 Chablis 1er Cru Vosgros, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

2019 Chablis 1er Cru Vosgros, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

This stands out in the Droin flight for its smoky, gunflint reduction. Benoît says Vosgros always shows a petrolly note in its youth, which marries beautifully with the impressive intensity on the palate in 2019. There is a quiet and refined austerity in this wine’s grip, expertly chiselled by the stainless steel fermentation and ageing. Very fine indeed.

Tasting notes

Once again there is plenty of mineral reduction present on the slightly riper aromas of various white orchard fruit, citrus rind and iodine. There is a bit less refinement and notably more power to the medium-bodied flavors that flash evident muscle on the stony, delicious and refreshing finish that is also a bit firmer. Worth considering.
