A soupçon of exotic fruit adds breadth to the otherwise pure aromas of white peach, pear and lychee nut that merge seamlessly into rich, intense, powerful and palate staining full-bodied flavors that possess excellent concentration on the mineral-inflected and strikingly long finish.

Salty mineral nose. Attractively delicate. Chalky and taut on the palate but well sustained and refined. 17.5/20 (JH)

The estate's 2009 Chablis Vaudesir is one of the more understated selections in this lineup. It is less minerally intense than some of the other wines, but makes up for that with its generous fruit and warm, radiant personality. This is another excellent choice for nearer term drinking, although I don't exclude the possibility that it may also age quite well given the freshness of the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. -Antonio Galloni
