Tasting Notes
Thin soils of light colour lie over a sub-soil of Kimmeridgian limestone marls. The slope is relatively steep.
It is always the most delicate and most elegant wine. The nose is very open with notes of hazelnut and grilled almonds. First impression on the palate is generally supple and gourmand, with a certain opulence in warm years. It is a fine-bodied, ethereal wine carried by subtle acidity. Over time, its minerality is expressed through notes of chalk and flint with a light saline and sea air impact on the finish. The delicacy and purity of Vaudésir allow it to be matched perfectly with scallops or noble fish such as monkfish and turbot. - Winery Note
The Droin family has been collecting small holdings in all the top premier and grand cru Chablis vineyards since 1620. Over the last 400 years they have played an important role in shaping Chablis' wine production and local politics throughout their existence. Jean-Paul was one of the first to introduce oak aging to the region in the 1980s, a transformative innovation. In 1999Benoît, Jean-Paul's son, took over as winemaker and the domaine has since flourished. His meticulous vineyard management with severely restricted yields and careful élevage of the individual cuvees afford the attention to detail required for greatness. Benoît's artistry in the winery and careful stewardship of their outstanding collection of small vineyards has long ago elevated the family domaine to the very top of the Chablis tree. The Droin style is one of purity and transparency, coupled with powerful concentration and deep minerality. - Importer Note
