This is aromatically similar to the Petit Chablis though with more petrol influence. There is a bit more volume to the noticeably denser medium weight flavors that possess both an attractive texture and good power that carries over to the solidly long, complex and balanced bitter lemon-inflected finish. Good quality for its level and worth a look.

The nose instantly makes clear that this could come from nowhere else but Chablis with its cool and airy aromas of white flower, ocean breeze, algae and shellfish. The sleek and refined yet solidly powerful flavors possess a beguiling texture and excellent precision while displaying impressive length and an almost aggressive minerality on the clean, dry and balanced finale. This is lovely but note well that at least moderate patience will be required. 

- Burghound, 91-93 Outstanding!

Cool, airy and beautifully layered aromas of white pepper, lemon zest, quinine and an array of floral wisps serve as an elegant introduction to the dense, overtly stony and vibrant middle weight flavors that possess first-rate cut and excellent length on the lightly bitter citrus-inflected finale. This is lovely and while it could use better depth, the balance is impeccable.

There is a touch of phenolic character and a vague exotic character suffusing the aromas of white peach, quinine and citrus confit. The rich, dense and powerful larger-bodied flavors also possess excellent concentration before concluding in a sappy, bright and firm finale. This is an unusually good example of the climat and recommended.

In much the same fashion as the Montmains, the nose makes clear that this could only be from Chablis with its nose of quinine, petrol, mineral reduction, tidal pool and oyster shell. There is outstanding volume, mid-palate density and power to the beautifully textured medium weight plus flavors that deliver excellent depth and persistence. This is arguably a bit less refined than it usually is but it's also notably more concentrated and powerful. One to strongly consider.

This is also wonderfully elegant and expressive with its ripe yet cool nose of seemingly every flower imaginable as there is even a hint of gardenia, along with a plenitude of classic Chablis elements. The rich, suave and caressing medium-bodied flavors possess good verve and evident minerality on the youthfully austere and sneaky long finish. This is really very classy though it will definitely need to add depth to merit the upper end of my projected range.

This too instantly makes its origins clear with aromas of iodine, algae, ocean breeze and shrimp shell. As one might reasonably expect, there is markedly more size, weight and muscle to the broad-shouldered flavors that conclude in a compact, youthfully austere and highly persistent finale. This is a classic Bougros that is undeniably built-to-age and a wine that's going to need it.

A perfumed, cool, pure and elegant nose displays vaguely exotic notes of white peach, passion fruit, honeysuckle and quinine, all of which is trimmed in an appealing touch of mineral reduction. The ultra-dense, indeed almost thick, flavors are borderline aggressively stony, which adds a sense of lift to the bitter citrus-inflected finish that, somewhat curiously, falls off somewhat relative to the best in the range. It's possible that it was 'just one of those days' and it will show better once in bottle as the characteristics of the 2024 vintage should play to the innate strengths of Vaudésir.

This is also wonderfully elegant, pure and airy with its combination of citrus, petrol, quinine, salt water and algae. Here too the mouthfeel of the big-bodied flavors is dense to the point of being almost thick yet the natural refinement of a classic Preuses is maintained, all wrapped in a precise, palate staining, massively long and perfectly balanced finish. This is seriously good and while finding it may be nearly impossible, if you do don't hesitate!

- Burghound, 94-97 Don't Miss!

Classic Chablis nuances of iodine, quinine, mineral reduction, oyster shell and lemon-lime add impressive breadth to the mostly white orchard fruit scents. Once again the palate impression of the super-sleek and intense large-scaled flavors is borderline thick while displaying superb power and drive on the youthfully austere and beautifully balanced finale. This is breathtakingly good.

A pure and glowing lemon yellow. The precision of the bouquet is impressive, with a slight marine reduction. Fine boned yet with backbone. There is significant energy behind, this has absolutely retained the style of the vineyard, less intense than some years but exceptionally fine. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Jul 2025.

- Jasper Morris, 92-94

Here the nose is restrained to the point of being almost mute with its airy and cool array of floral, spice, iodine, ocean breeze and similar oyster shell nuances. There is even better size, weight and richness to the even more evidently concentrated big-bodied flavors that possess a super-sleek and refined mouthfeel before concluding in a youthfully austere and balanced finish that just goes on and on. This is, quite simply, stunningly good.
