2024 Edouard Vocoret, Chablis, 1er Cru Butteaux

Domaine Vocoret & Fils is a historic family estate based in the town of Chablis, where they have cultivated vines across four generations to establish their reputation for traditional, terroir-driven winemaking. This 1er Cru Butteaux is made from Chardonnay grapes grown on steep, Kimmeridgian limestone slopes that are characteristic of the region’s complex, fossil-rich soils. The wine shows a precise balance of citrus and green apple notes, underscored by a distinct, saline minerality and a persistent, focused texture. The 2024 vintage, defined by a challenging, cool, and wet growing season, has provided the wine with notable tension, vibrant acidity, and a clear, energetic profile. This is a balanced, classic expression of the appellation that is built to evolve in the cellar over the next several years.
