Aromas of quinine, iodine and shellfish add breadth to the floral and white orchard fruit scents. As is virtually always the case, the medium-bodied flavors possess both more richness and volume thanks to the more abundant sap that coats the mouth and buffers the moderately firm acid spine shaping the relatively linear finish. At least some patience is suggested, which should also help to add complexity. ... More details

The 2020 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru has a light green apple and fresh pear scented bouquet that just needs a little more vigour. The palate is well balanced with a slightly chalky entry, fresh green apple and gooseberry notes with a little more spiciness on the finish compared to other crus. Thoroughly enjoyable, even if it does miss a bit of persistence.

A ripe style, offering peach, yellow apple and fresh floral and herb accents. Starts out rich, firming up on the stony, succulent finish. Drink now through 2026. 100 cases imported.
Winery
Pale gold in colour, limpid and brilliant with golden reflections. The first nose is pleasantly fruity with exotic notes (pineapple), some woody notes then appear after oxygenation. The whole has great elegance. A lively attack on the palate with plenty of energy. We find these fruity, tangy aromas (pineapple, lemon) which are accompanied by a few toasted, grilled notes on the finish. Fine density and length. A fine Chablis 1er cru with great future potential. Food and wine pairings: Aperitif, plancha prawns or scallops, sushi.

Varietal: Chardonnay

For most people, the Chardonnay grape varietal is one of the quintessential white wine grapes. It isn't difficult to understand why; Chardonnay may well have started off in regions of France (where it is still used widely today in both single variety white wines as well as sparkling Champagne wines) but it is now grown in every wine producing country in the world. Indeed, it was the New World that took Chardonnay to some exciting new extremes – this relatively neutral grape has the fantastic ability to carry much of its terroir in the bottle, resulting in a fascinating range of flavors and styles. Furthermore, Chardonnay is one of the few white wine grapes which is well suited to aging, as can be seen in some of the excellent produce consistently coming out of Burgundy, and elsewhere in the world. With everything from buttery, creamy characteristics to vibrant tropical fruit notes, Chardonnay will never cease to surprise and impress.

Region: Burgundy

The beautiful region of Burgundy in France is famously home to some of the most exquisite red wines to be found anywhere on earth, and is most commonly associated with the silky, elegant and flavorful Pinot Noir varietal wines which are commonly produced there. However, the superb and mineral rich soils fed by the Rhone river, and the long hot summers and mild autumns of the region produce a wide variety of fine grapes, and as such, Burgundy produces plenty of different wines which are equally as good as the produce the region is famed for. The region of Burgundy itself has a wine-making history which stretches back at least two thousand years, and as such, it comes as no surprise that the wineries which fill the dozens of controlled appellations of the region rely heavily on traditional methods and techniques when it comes to producing their famous wines.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
