2020 Louis Michel Chablis Vaudesir Grand Cru (Pre-arrival)

Jasper Morris (93-95) – “Pale colour and backward nose. A sense of power for sure, slowly growing in the mouth. Some ripe apples, but all quite discreet for the moment. Perfectly well balanced on the palate but all rather tight at the moment. There is a certain ripeness in the fruit waiting to come out.”
Wine Advocate/William Kelley 94 – “The 2020 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir is another success, bursting with sweet aromas of vine blossom, citrus fruits, wet stones and white flowers. Full-bodied, ample and seamless, it’s bright and satiny, with a racy spine of acidity and a long, precise finish.”
Burghound (92-94) – “Reduction dominates the nose at present. On the palate the lacy middle weight flavors possess a gorgeous texture while delivering excellent delineation and persistence on the balanced finale. This elegant and highly refined effort dances across the palate and it too is really quite promising yet because of it’s almost delicate mouthfeel, it could be enjoyed young if that’s your preference.”
