Chablis 1er Cru Vaucoupin

Deep, clean, attractively mineral and laced with citrus energy. Very direct for a 22 but that’s how I like my Chablis – intense finishing too. I’d still be waiting another 2 years for more ‘ease.’ But this finishes clean and I think it will be a very good one.

A relatively flat part of this cru – ‘we are happy with that!’ – 0.33 ha of vines with about 8-9 years of age.
Here’s a different nose the width has an extra mineral quality to it. Mouthfilling – fuller but more airy than powerful. Melting wth very tasty flavour. That’s another very good and very tasty wine.

The 2020 Chablis Vaucoupin 1er Cru has an attractive, quite floral bouquet with dandelion scents complementing Golden Delicious and lemon thyme scents. Fine definition. The palate is well-defined with a brisk line of acidity, taut and fresh, edgy and quite saline towards the composed finish. Give it a year or two in bottle.
