A more elegant nose displays more classic aromas of mineral reduction, iodine, oyster shell and a pretty mix of both white and yellow fruit scents. There is good ripeness to the delicious, dense and more mineral-driven flavors that are less powerful but more refined, all wrapped in a generous, opulent and complex finale. Lovely stuff that should be at once accessible young but also reward 5 to 8 years of cellaring.
The 2015 Chablis 1Er Cru Vaulorent showed so well when I tasted it from barrel. Now in bottle, it has a well-defined bouquet with hints of white flower developing in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity. A very pretty Chablis with hints of orange sorbet and dried apricot leading to a precise and classy finish. What a superb Vaulorent—this comes recommended.
