Pure clear colour. The nose is brilliantly succulent, very heady, but still in balance. White fruit, floral notes, quite dense from the start yet balanced across the palate, some smoky notes, good enough acidity, waves of flavour, the typical limestone white fruit of Vaudésir. They are located on the north-facing slope which helps. All you want at the finish, while clearly a warm vintage wine.

The 2018 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru has a very appealing bouquet of lemon verbena, chai tea and crushed stone aromas, becoming increasingly floral with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity and a slightly waxy texture. Lemon zest, orange peel and touches of spice and walnut appear toward the finish. Superb.
