"The 2023 Chablis Vaudécorse is much more expressive than the Vauclaire at the moment, a mixture of white and yellow fruit with a touch of flintiness underneath. The palate is quite attacking on the entry, tensile and focused. It gradually builds toward a cohesive and satisfying finish. This has similar potential to the excellent 2022." 

Burghound, 89-92 Points 

"An interesting nose reflects notes of green tea, iodine, crushed fennel and green apple. There is slightly better volume, and noticeably more power to the energetic medium-bodied flavors that also exude evident minerality on the clean, dry and youthfully austere finale. This well-made effort almost always punches above its weight and this version should be no different. If you can find it, buy it as villages-level Chablis doesn't get much better than this in 2023." 

Jasper Morris, 89-91 Points 

"Lemon with a touch of lime in the colour. The most elegant of the three to date on the nose. A fine limewash across the palate with the stones to follow. Still shows in an elegant fashion. There is easily enough depth of fruit here and no honeysuckle. Ripe lemon zest instead. Drink from 2026-2032." 

Alcohol: 12.5%
