Fine fresh primrose. A steely nose some of the lemon notes again light but fine. There is steel in the backbone. Lightly stony a touch of the marine. Fine length again. The lemon is quite pronounced.
The 2020 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru is 35% matured in barrel until March when the entire production is transferred into tank. It has a detailed floral bouquet of pressed white flower and dandelion scents mixed with honeysuckle and orange pith. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity orange peel flavors and hints of mandarin. Taut and fresh toward the finish. This is a classy 2020 Vaillon to follow on from the strong 2019. (Drink between 2025-2045)
Here too the nose is exuberantly fruity while displaying background hints of lemon rind white flower brine and algae. There is a lovely texture to the utterly delicious middle weight flavors that exhibit good length on the slightly more tightly wound finale. This does need to develop more depth but that should occur over the next 2 to 3 years. (Drink starting 2024)
