2020 Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent, William Fèvre

2020 Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent, William Fèvre

Vaulorent is technically part of Fourchaume, the largest premier cru in Chablis, and is the only premier cru to share the same slope as the grand cru. It has very chalky soil and produces a wine of power and silky tension. The 2020 is so velvety and beguiling, you almost don’t feel the power of the wine underneath the texture.

Tasting notes

The restrained and layered nose makes clear that this could be from nowhere else but Chablis with its aromas of algae, iodine, oyster shell and spiced pear. The texture of the medium weight flavors is also sleek and intense with slightly better density to the youthfully austere bitter lemon suffused finish. Lovely.
