Jasper Morris: 91-94 Points
Pale lemon. A backward nose suggesting a little power some reductive quality on whi
Vinous: 92-94 Points
The 2021 Chablis Les Butteaux 1er Cru is more austere than the Chapelot at the moment with crushed rock (basalt?) and light malic notes. It gains intensity in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with a strong apply entry. Fine depth a little more bitterness on the back end that keeps the saliva flowing long and tender on the finish. Excellent. (Drink between 2024-2042)
Wine Advocate: 91-93 Points
Exhibiting aromas of beeswax orange oil crisp green orchard fruit oyster shell and light reduction the 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Les Butteaux is medium to full-bodied layered and racy with lively acids and a long saline finish. From vines planted in 1956 it's a very strong effort in a challenging year. Chablis may not be the most dynamic of Burgundy's subregions but Eleni and Edouard Vocoret are among the most ambitious new arrivals on the scene. I mentioned last year that the domaine's holdings were due to expand?now the details have been finalized and I can say that almost overnight this estate is about to become one of Chablis's more important addresses as the Vocorets have selected prime parcels in the best climats from the family holdings. I've been writing that this is an estate to follow closely since I began covering Burgundy for The Wine Advocate and this particular prophesy certainly appears to have been proved right. In 2021 however the range hadn't yet expanded so the wines reviewed here reflect the bottlings with which readers will already be familiar. As I've written before the Vocorets farm their vineyards without herbicides or pesticides and harvest by hand. In the cellar vinification is in tank followed by élevage in used barrels?very much in the mold of Vincent Dauvissat one of the young couple's mentors. Published: Jul 21 2022
