Tasting notes
This is a Chablis to serve at a slightly warmer temperature as it really opened up over the hour it sat in the glass. Its initially floral aromas add a lightly earthy and chalky note as the wine warms. Pomelo, yellow current and white raspberries all surface, too. The palate is delicate and feathery, making this one of the more airy, elegant Preuses of the vintage.

Wine Advocate - 94/100
'Derived from east- and west-facing parcels that were picked two days apart, Billaud's 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir offers up aromas of peach, freshly baked bread, iodine, oyster shell and vine blossom, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping palate girdled by tangy acids and concluding with a long, chalky finish.' - William Kelley, Wine Advocate (Sep 2023)
