2024 Edouard Vocoret, Chablis, 1er Cru Vaillons

Domaine Vocoret & Fils is a multi-generational estate located in the village of Chablis, where the family has been tending to vines for over four generations. This wine is made from Chardonnay grown on the iconic Kimmeridgian limestone and Portlandian clay soils of the Vaillons Premier Cru, a vineyard site known for its southwest exposure and distinct mineral composition. In the glass, it displays a firm, focused profile with clear notes of citrus, green apple, and wet stone, supported by a structured, persistent texture. The 2024 vintage, marked by challenging weather, has resulted in a wine defined by high tension, vibrant acidity, and an assertive sense of salinity. This is a balanced, classic expression of its terroir that is built for the cellar yet remains approachable for those who appreciate a sharp, energetic style.
