Dauvissat/Vincent Chablis 1er cru Vaillons 2022

92-94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Bursting with notes of white flowers, orange zest, nutmeg and iodine, the 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with bright acids and a long, expansive and perfumed finish. As ever, its expressive, charming style makes it something of the more-mineral Séchet's alter ego. (9/7/23)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has a rather strict nose, backward with crushed stone and fleeting white flowers. The palate has a lovely rondeur on the entry with white peach and nectarine, those deep clayey soils giving depth and persistence to the finish. Quite powerful, but it will need time. Drink: 2027-2045. (Sep 2023)"

91-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Pale lemon yellow. This is very classy, purer and fresher, with all the little stones queuing up at the end of the palate, savoury but with fresh white fruit all around, much less dry than Séchet. Fine long finish. Drink from 2029-2038. Tasted: May 2023."

93 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "A very precise, high-quality example, with weight and ripeness on the palate coming from vines which are planted on very thick soils over Marne bedrock. Touch of bitterness on the finish. Attractive, forward and floral Vaillons. Drinking Window: 2025-2030. (10/18/23)"

93 points Ned Goodwin, MW (JamesSuckling.com): "A mere 200 meters from the meager soils of Sechet, this is a site with more clay. A more voluminous expression, rounder and mouth-filling, with a note of phenolics as much as freshness. Tangerines with hints of stone fruit and nuts. An easy wine to love, without quite the pixelated freshness and exquisite detail of the Sechets. Drink or hold. (4/8/24)"

93 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com) (2024).

91-93 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from one-third Beugnons and two-thirds Châtains). A markedly more floral-infused nose reveals additional notes of white pepper, tidal pool, iodine and plenty of citrus elements. There is a bit more volume to the beautifully textured medium weight flavors that possess excellent punch while keeping a similar level of refinement on the balanced, focused and lingering finale. This is pretty much textbook Vaillons. Drink: 2032+. (Aug 2023)"
