The 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir wafts from the glass with aromas of pear, peach, oyster shell and vine flowers. Full-bodied, pure and satiny, with a sweet and fleshy core of fruit girdled by tangy acids, it concludes with a long, orange blossom-inflected finish.

The 2021 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru comes from 1.20-hectares, the major parcel adjacent to Moutonne, on marn soils that tends to be picked earlier than others. It has a clean and precise bouquet with citrus lemon, a hint of petrichor and orange blossom - very engaging. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite edgy with lemon rind and a touch of mandarin, taut and linear on the finish. Nice verticality here, though I would be inclined to age this in bottle for three to four years.
