Critics reviews
The 2021 Chablis Vaugiraut 1er Cru has a lovely nose with grass clippings and green apple scents, more vigour than the Chablis Village. The palate is taut and fresh; quite strong, sour lemon notes lend just a bit of shrillness on the finish. This needs to cohere during its maturation.
“The 2020 vintage was easy,” Lilian Duplessis tells me as we walk down to the cellar. Upstairs, the building work has progressed a great deal over the last 12 months, though the tasting room is not ready. “It was much easier than in 2021. I can’t tell exactly how much of the volume I lost in 2021, but certainly more than one-third. We cropped around 25hL/ha. The frost was everywhere, damaging parcels that were not normally affected. I started the harvest around 20 September. I vinify parcels separately and use a greater proportion of larger vessels because I like the micro-oxygenation.”
