““The 2023 Chablis Vaudcorse 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. Drinking 2025 to 2036.“

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.*Outstanding*”

Winemaker Notes:

“One parcel of just over two acres planted in 1980 high on the hills on the Serein River’s right bank. If a year is both productive and good, then this lieu-dit is bottled separately; otherwise, it used to go into the straight Chablis blend, but beginning with vintage 2021 (a terribly short vintage rather than qualitatively weak) it went into the Vieilles Vignes cuve.”
