La Chablisienne Chablis 1er cru Vaulorent 2017

94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2017 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru is powerful and ample, and yet it also retains gorgeous energy that is remarkable for such a rich and obviously potent wine. There is so much going on in the glass. And that is precisely what makes the Vaulorent one of the most compelling wines in the range. Aromatically intense, resonant and super-expressive, the Vaulorent has so much to give. Drink: 2022-2032. (Jan 2020)"

92 points James Suckling: "This has fresh, lemon and lime aromas with a gently flinty, crushed-stone undercurrent. The palate has a superbly fresh and succulent feel with such fresh and attractively ripe peach flavors, delivering a fleshy and intense finish. Drink or hold. (8/14/19)"

91 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent didn't impress me quite as much from bottle as it did during its élevage, though it's still a very solid effort. Bursting with aromas of citrus blossom, honeycomb and grapefruit, it's medium to full-bodied, open-knit and sun-kissed, with less texture and less cut than the l'Homme Mort. Drink: 2020-2030. (Aug 2019)"

91 points and 'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Discreet wood easily allows the cool floral, tidal pool and mineral reduction-suffused aromas to be appreciated. The sleek, energetic and attractively textured medium weight flavors possess a classy mouth feel that continues onto the saline, focused and rich finish. Good stuff that should age well. Drink: 2025+. (Oct 2019)"
