2022 Chablis, Vaudésir, Grand Cru, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin, Burgundy

Description

Benoît always describes this as his “most Côte d’Or-like” wine due to the flat profile of this sunny vineyard and the deeper clay in the soil. Around half of the wine sees oak, which is particularly well-integrated this year. There is a wonderfully buttery, creamy character here with plenty of ripe fruit, all while retaining just enough Chablis identity. Open and rounded, but with a minerality that will grow with time in bottle.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin 92-94/100

The 2022 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru is very fragrant on the nose with white peach, white chocolate and hints of wet stone scents, like a Vaillons-plus. The palate is well-defined, taut and fresh, with crisp acidity and good depth, but it starts to clam up towards the finish. Patience will be required, but there is no doubting the caliber of this Grand Cru.

Plenty of concentration. Pure, ripe peach fruit but lots of acidity and drive as well. The warmer site of this grand cru comes through, yet the wine is still elegant and shows good balance. A fine example, with 40% of the blend aged in barrel.

40% oak. A clear pale lemon colour with a light green tint. There is an attractive smoky touch adding to the mineral freshness of the bouquet. Then the additional richness of fruit on the palate which this vintage gives. Even so, the fruit profile is the usual concentrated white fruit I expect from Vaudésir. A fine long finish.

Drink 2029 - 2038.
