Vinous (94)The 2019 Chablis Vosgros 1er Cru was showing just a small reduction on the nose, though it could not disguise the scents of yellow plum and honeysuckle and touches of wet limestone. The palate is very well balanced, taut and fresh, pinned down by a fine bead of acidity and very intense on the minerally finish. This fulfills the potential I found last year out of barrel. |

Burghound (93)(from 40+ year old vines aged in 100% stainless). A more citrus-suffused nose speaks of green apple, sea breeze and algae hints along with a hint of crushed anise. The rich, full-bodied and very generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors exude evident minerality on the nicely dry, moderately austere and focused finale. This lovely effort is built to reward up to a decade of improvement, yet it should also be reasonably approachable young if desired. This is, in a word, terrific. Buy this as well. |
