(92-95 points) From three plots, vinified in tank and then racked into wood. Olivier found it a bit austere, so wanted to fatten it out and add complexity. Iodine notes starting to be teased out on the nose. This is an excellent expression of the vineyard bolstered by the ripeness of the vintage, but still entirely within limits. Very long pure white fruit aftertaste.

(90-93 points) Subtle but not invisible wood surrounds the softly exotic aromas of both white and yellow orchard that flash solid Chablis character in the form of iodine and oyster shell. The sleek, sophisticated and attractively vibrant middle weight flavors possess good volume and while the finish isn't quite as precise, I like the balance of the tightly coiled finish.

Vaudésir is a 15ha site, notable for a high percentage of clay, and a double exposure with some vines facing north, others south. There are plenty of honeyed, zesty citrus fruits in this example with good concentration and bright acidity. Not my absolute favourite Grand Cru but there is still plenty of precision here. Will undoubtedly improve with further maturation in bottle (Drink between 2022-2030)

The 2019 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru has a slightly muffled nose that needs to muster more delineation. (I did see some improvement after leaving my sample aside for 10 minutes.) The taut, vibrant palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, with a fine line of acidity. Its pedigree really shows through on the detailed finish. Excellent, but it needs time in bottle. -- Neal Martin
