Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin : Chablis Grand cru "Vaudésir" 2022

The 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir is lovely, bursting with aromas of vine blossom, peach and pear. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's suave and seamless, with a pretty, expressive profile that makes it one of the most charming wines in the range.

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

We are right in the Kimmeridgian, but here with white clays and stones in a warm area, yielding a very delicate, airy fruit with a lovely mineral lift.
