Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2018 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru is ample and creamy in the glass, with soft contours and lovely textural richness. Suave and silky, the 2018 shows good depth but it is also not fully formed as it likely will be at the end of élevage. Persistent and impeccable in its balance, the Vaudésir is very nicely done. This is such a pretty and promising Chablis.

The 2018 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru sees 12 months in used oak barrel. It has a generous bouquet of white flowers, yellow plum and touches of orange pith and crushed stone. The palate is well balanced, presenting lime and orange pith on the entry; good weight and density here. Touches of dill and white pepper furnish a complex finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent.
