One of the best Chablis I’ve had in the past 10 years or so. Amazing. And so classical. Old school green-tinged crystalline gold color. Nose features barely ripe apple fruit, intensely brothy, wet sea shell limestone minerality. I could sniff this forever. So vibrant and alive on the palate. Packed with flavor but shot-through with minerality that freshens it. Nice acids. Slight bitterish note in the long finish. Walks that tightrope of intensity with counterbalancing energy. Vaulorent really ought to be a grand cru. Heck, it’s on the same damn hill!
