Tasting Notes

The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent is a terrific effort that's one of the finest premier cru bottlings from Fèvre that I've ever tasted. Unwinding in the glass with a lively bouquet of fresh peach, green apples, spring blossom, oyster shell and wheat toast, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with exceptional concentration, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. Didier Séguier should be very proud of this weightless but intense Vaulorent, a wine that outshines plenty of grand cru Chablis this year. Drink 2021-2037.

A restrained nose is comprised by notes of smoky reduction, sea breeze and whiffs of exotic fruit and oak toast. The rich, dense and very suave flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract while the powerful and focused finish delivers outstanding length.

Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy, May 2018

A wealth of limes and lemons, in pithy and flinty mode here, as well as oyster shell and subtle biscuit spices. The palate has such succulent and taut, dry and pithy lemon flavor with breathtakingly pure resolve. This is striking. Drink or hold.
