2020 Jean-Paul Droin Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru

Jasper Morris (91-94) – “Clear pale lemon colour, the bouquet is richer, fleshier, riper, but the wine has such a backbone that it maintains the overall balance very well. Sweetly pleasing and persistent fruit. Classical purity.”
Burghound (91-93) – “Once again there is enough wood influence to mention framing the ripe and markedly floral scented aromas of mineral reduction, pear, apple and tidal pool. There is notably better energy to the delicious and refined middle weight flavors that are at once succulent yet nicely detailed, all wrapped in a clean and quite dry finish. This youthfully austere effort should be lovely as it has the intrinsic class of a fine Vaulorent.”
