Chablis 2018

Wine Advocate

The 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is beautiful, unfurling in the glass with notes of pear, white flowers, oyster shell, mandarin oil and clear honey. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a fleshy core of fruit and a bright, saline finish, it has turned out brilliantly after fully 20 months' élevage on the lees. (WK, 8/2021)
