"The 2023 Chablis Le Bas de Chapelot is similar to the Les Pargues aromatically, perhaps just a little more yellow fruit evident here. Fine delineation. The palate is where the real difference lies - much more weight and density, a honeyed tincture but that does not occlude the terroir expression or mineralité on the finish. This is a Chablis that wears its heart on its sleeve." 

Burghound, 90-92 Points 

"Note: from a large 1.9 ha holding. This has pretty much been the Vocoret signature wine to this point and it's easy to understand why as the quality is again excellent, and particularly so for a villages-level wine. A slightly riper if otherwise quite similar array features the same notes of Granny Smith apple and citrus is laced with hints of quinine and tidal pool. There is a rounder mouthfeel to the delicious and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess solid power and even better depth on the balanced and beautifully persistent finish. This is excellent and a wine that should be approachable young while capable of repaying 6 to 8 years of cellaring. Warmly recommended.*Burghound Outstanding Top Value!*" 

Wine Advocate, 90-92 Points 

"Slightly tauter than En Boucheran but not as chiseled as Les Pargues, Eleni & Edouard Vocoret’s 2023 Chablis Le Bas de Chapelot is chareterized by clay-rich and limestone soils, as it’s located close to the river. Wafting from the glass with a bouquet of beeswax, grapefruit zest and oyster shell, it’s medium to full-bodied, tensile and saline, with a racy spine of acidity and concluding with a persistent finish." 

Jasper Morris, 90-91 Points 

"In between En Boucheran and Pargues in colour, a faint pale lemon. More in fresh fruit but the marine notes are not far behind. Then the Bas de Chapleot opens out with some delicious yellow plum fruit, but with just the right tension behind. Long and lovely. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted Jun 2024."
