Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis Vaudesir Grand Cru 2018 (750ML)

93-95 VM / 92-94 BH

The 2018 Chablis Vaudésir Grand Cru is one of the most exotic, flamboyant wines in the range. Marzipan, candied lemon confit, passionfruit and honeyed notes add to an impression of deep, exotic beauty. The 2018 isn't a shy wine, nor it is exactly subtle, but it is flat-out delicious and arresting in its beauty. Drink it with richer foods. Antonio Galloni – Vinous Media

Smoky and mildly exotic aromas consist of matchstick, iodine, algae and ripe white and yellow-fleshed fruit. The mouth feel of the middle weight flavors is even finer if perhaps not quite as dense though the stony finish is notably more complex, at least at present. This is very good and worth a look. - Allen Meadows, Burghound
