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.

green grapes

Varietal: Chardonnay

Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one which has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is the Chardonnay. This green skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand to the Americas, from England to Chile, and is one of the first varietals people think of when considering white wine grapes. Perhaps this is because of its huge popularity which reached a peak in the 1990s, thanks to new technologies combining with traditional methods to bring the very best features out of the Chardonnay grape, and allow its unique qualities to shine through. Most fine Chardonnay wines use a process known as malolactic fermentation, wherein the malic acids in the grape juice are converted to lactic acids, allowing a creamier, buttery nature to come forward in the wine. No grape varietal is better suited to this process than Chardonnay, which manages to balance these silky, creamy notes with fresh white fruit flavors beautifully.

Region: Burgundy

The wines which come out of the Burgundy region of France are regularly hailed as amongst the finest in the world, with the area now being synonymous with quality red wines of exceptional flavor, character and aroma. However, Burgundy is no newcomer to the world of fine wines, with the earliest recordings of the quality of this region's produce dating back to the 6th century, and archaeological evidence suggesting that vineyards had been cultivated there for over two thousand years. Today, there are dozens of controlled appellations within Burgundy, each producing exceptional wines typical of the region. The whole area benefits greatly from hot summers and mild, long autumnal periods, which, when coupled with the generations of expertise of the wineries in Burgundy, consistently produces superb wines for the world's enjoyment.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
