2020 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

2020 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

Vaudésir sits at the top of the grand cru hill, and enjoys a steep incline, making it one of the sunnier spots in the grand cru. This 2020 has so much precision and density, with an elegant perfume giving it surprising accessibility in youth. The palate has a great texture, with stone fruit concentration laced with grilled nuts. This will drink well from early on, though its drinking window should not be underestimated.

Tasting notes

This is also aromatically cool and very pretty with its array of white and yellow fruit, broad range of spice elements and good Chablis typicity, all trimmed in oak hints. The wood influence also is present on the caressing and refined but decidedly intense flavors that culminate in a bone-dry finale. This too is very good.
