2022 Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Vaudesir Chablis Grand Cru

Other Reviews....
A ripe but agreeably cool nose combines an array of spice elements with those of oyster shell, pear and pretty floral wisps. The super-sleek and wonderfully refined medium weight flavors aren't particularly dense but they do offer a beguiling sense of energy that also suffuses the very dry, focused and highly persistent finale. Like the MdT, this too could use better depth though more should almost certainly develop if given a chance. Drink through 2030+.

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. Drink 2027-2040.

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 from 2029-2038.

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.
