Producer Description
Clean, well-rounded, classic Chablis from vines that average 56 years old. The wine is pure and vibrant in flavor showing off citrus and mineral which combine with just a touch of oak on the finish.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
A touch of reduction still plays about ripe pear notes on the nose of this wine. The palate adds hazelnut and a whiff of smoke, taming that ripeness and creating a rounded but fresh and balanced picture. It finishes with some yeasty savoriness and a hint of lemon zest. Beautiful.
James Suckling: 90-91 Points
Around one-third in almost exclusively old oak, this has a very strong, fresh chalky edge to the white-peach and lemon aromas. The palate has supple, seamless shape and texture, holding pithy peach at the finish. Drink on release.
Vinous: 93-95 Points
The 2019 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru is matured 30% in barrel (5% new) and 70% in tank. Fresh and animated on the nose, it has a brightness and sense of joie-de-vivre that is endearing, even at this early stage. The palate is very well balanced with crisp acidity, taut and focused, leading into a harmonious, tensile finish. I actually think this is as good as the Cuvée Guy Moreau – just different rather than better.
Burghound: 89-91 Points
A pretty and attractively layered nose is comprised by notes of essence of pear, citrus zest, sea breeze and a touch of wood. There is good richness to the bigger and richer medium weight flavors that possess a caressing mouth feel as well as much better depth and persistence.
