Critic reviews

Decanter – Michel notes that his plot of Vaulorent lies on relatively thick clay soils; certainly plenty of force and substance is in evidence. A very complete example of this top premier cru, with excellent acidity, crispness and tension. Plenty of concentration and ageing potential. A marked flinty edge to finish. – Andy Howard, Oct 2023

93 POINTS - Jasper Morris
"Mid lemon yellow. The bouquet has a soft allure, flowers and ripe white apples, the aromatics of spring giving way to early summer. A fine rich juicy white fruit, with a long aftertaste. Still mostly on the apples. Drink from 2027-2035" - June 2023

94 POINTS - Allen Meadows, Burghound
"Pretty and appealingly layered aromas consist of freshly sliced pear and apple along with hints of citrus zest, mineral reduction and a hint of ocean spray character. The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors possess fine mid-palate volume thanks to the abundant dry extract that buffers the moderately firm acid spine shaping the powerful finish where the intensity seems to build as it lingers. Good stuff and worth considering."

The Fourchaume vineyard stretches over an uninterrupted 3 km, with the exception of an enclave on one of the Grand Cru slopes. This wine comes from this very enclave, which is known as “Vaulorent”. All the factors comes together here to make a fine wine: a pure nose  and a voluptuous palate with the rich aromas of butter and caramel. - Guillaume Gicqueau-Michel

Wines of Chablis

Arguably the most uniquely tasting Chardonnay in the world, most people are blown away to discover this special type of Chardonnay for the first time. The cool climate region produces wines with more acidity and less fruit flavours, but a unique flinty note derived from the soils.

Although considered a part of the Burgundy wine region, Chablis is closer in distance to Champagne which it shares an exceedingly rare and unique soil with. Kimmeridgian soil is not found anywhere else in the world except in southern England, Champagne and Chablis. A 180-million-year-old geologic formation of decomposed clay and limestone, containing tiny fossilized oyster shells, this soil type produces wines full of minerality, salinity, intensity, and finesse.

In Chablis they use a similar ranking system to that of Burgundy. From Grand Crus at the top, to Premier Crus, to Chablis and Petit Chablis at the bottom.
