Vinous (89-91)( from a crop level of just 40 hectoliters per hectare) Subtle, pure aromas of green apple, minerals and mint. Fat, sweet and layered, with a note of quinine. A tactile if slightly aggressive wine that finishes with very good length. But the Chapelot is finer. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)(5-Star Wine) Pale colour with the lightest of lime tints. The bouquet is making me smile. Lemon scents on the palate and little white fruits and little white stones, with the citrus returning at the finish. Sensational persistence, just a joy all the way through. What is not to love? Tasted: June 2021 |

Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet with very light chamomile notes emerging, usurped by struck flint and petrichor scents that eventually dominate. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, perhaps a little more straightforward than the Fôret, quite linear in style with a precise finish. This will require two or three years in bottle. |
