Simple, smooth, lemon burst with a slightly sweet aftertaste. Great with white fish. — 10 months ago

GL tasting Pape Clement 10/18/17. Means tall oak tree. 60 Merlot 40 cab. Three vintages. '15 Nose of black berries and palette that's straightforward with some earthiness and medium finish. 8.8. 2010 nose that's black fruit and body with hints of wood and good structure. 8.9. 2005 nose that's complex with that autumnal secondary notes of age and good structure on palate and long finish. Rewards of aging. 9.0. Roland consulting previously but more moving away from me oak. — 8 years ago

Presented to me double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine presents a straw color moving towards a silvery rim; medium viscosity with no signs of particles or gas. On the nose, the wine is bright with notes of lemon/lime citrus, some tropical fruits, cashews, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+, bordering high acid. The finish is medium+ and there was a textural thing that was sort of giving me woolly vibes. Initial conclusions: this could be a Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay or Albariño from France, the United States or Spain. Because the non-fruit and structure seemed to show the most and I sensed some French oak, I was leaning towards France. I kinda liked Chardonnay but the combination of texture and higher acid had me debating on Chenin, and I went with that. Chenin Blanc from France, from the Loire, Vouvray Sec 2018. In hindsight, I should have thought a bite more about 1er or GC Chablis as an option. Whatever, this was tasty stuff. Drink now through 2030 with ease. — 9 months ago

Full-bodied, thick and heavy with a lot of roundness and warmth. Aromas of ripe black and red fruits, a little spicy as well. Elaborated by Michel Roland. Spends 28 months in oak barrels. Superb. — 8 years ago
Yeasty aroma; very much like a brioche or good challah. Fine bubbles, yeast, sweet grape must, and a barely perceptible Flint finish. Excellent! — 8 years ago
The 2022 Chablis Vau de Vey 1er Cru was half-aged in a 5-year-old barrel and half in stainless steel. It takes time to settle on the nose, showing ample yellow fruit infused with crushed stone and light lanolin aromas. The palate is well-balanced, with mango and peach on the entry. It leans more towards the tropical side, though undeniably balanced with a deft touch of ginger on the finish. I'm intrigued to see how this will age in bottle. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2024)

scrambled my brain--really bright & tart-opens into some extremely SOFT&MELLOW fruit & floral moments--but not to worry--never loses the funk--definitely dirty 🍄 — 8 years ago
A rich Chablis that balances its aromatic and textural opulence with focused acid. Not a laser beam but a bright spotlight that illuminates. — 8 years ago
