Vaulorent is on the same slope as the Grand Crus, giving it an extra structure. Very ripe and forward, this wine shows both power and the approachability of the vintage. It has plenty of freshness while also showing off yellow fruits and pineapple richness. A more textured, steely, crisp aftertaste will allow the wine to age. Drink from 2018.

This is more aromatically complex still with its broad-ranging nose of floral, pear, citrus peel, apple and tidal pool scents. There is a really lovely sense of underlying tension to the concentrated and sleekly muscular flavors that possess quality depth on the balanced, harmonious and decidedly dry finish. A wine of class and grace.

(91+) The 2013 Vaulorent chez Fèvre was fifty percent barrel fermented in this vintage and has turned out very well indeed. The wine is again quite forward, particularly for this bottling at Domaine Fèvre, but it shows very good minerality and plenty of complexity on both the nose and palate. The bouquet is an excellent constellation of lime, apple, a touch of orange, flint, dried flowers, lime peel and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, crisp and complex, with a lovely core, excellent soil inflection (though not in the same league as the Montée de Tonnerre in this regard in 2013), with fine balance, good acids and fine length and grip. Fine juice. (Drink between 2015-2030)
