Bill Nanson "The Burgundy Report"
5 hectares from Chichée, the exposure resembles Vaudesir. ‘A pivot wine between the 1er and grand crus here.’ Just a little more oak - 15%.
A little more forward nose, faintly saline, more overtly mineral. More beautiful, mouth-filling, shape than the preceding wines. Gorgeously textured, supple, long flavour. Less overt freshness, more overt complexity. A beautiful peak of finishing intensity though - bravo!
James Suckling Tasting Report
The grilled-lemon and spiced peach-pastry aromas are super fresh. The palate has a very sleek and attractively fleshy core of peaches and lemons with a smoothly delivered palate that offers so much flavor. Drink over the next five years.
Wine Advocate - Neal Martin
The 2018 Chablis Les Vaucopins 1er Cru is quintessential Chablis on the nose of Granny Smith apples, petrichor and touches of pressed white flowers. The palate is vibrant and poised, presenting a citrus core of fruit surrounded by traces of blackberry leaf, ginger and dried quince. So much tension here! This is a great Vaucopins from the domaine. Superb.
