William Fèvre : Chablis Grand cru "Vaudésir" Domaine 2022

The 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir opens to reveal lovely aromas of sweet citrus fruit, vine blossom and spices. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave, it's layered and elegant, with a pure core of fruit and a long, precise finish. Its seamless, classily aromatic style makes it a high point this year.

Starts ripe and fleshy on the palate, then the minerality comes through. Fresh and direct, a very nicely balanced wine which, although approachable now, will age. The vines here lie on very steep slopes with full exposure to the sun. Early harvesting is the key to freshness.
