La Chablisienne Chablis les Vaillons 1er Cru 2020 (750ML)

89-92 BH / 89 VM

An airy nose freely offers up notes of pepper and white flowers along with plenty of pear, apple and quinine hints. There is fine richness to the very round middle weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the saline, focused and mildly austere finale. This is not especially complex, but it is indisputably Chablis-like and is a wine that may well develop more depth in time. - Burghound

The 2020 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru offers attractive yellow fruit on the nose, well-defined with a light flinty note in the background. The palate is firm with nice acidity; it's quite taut and fresh, attenuating slightly towards the finish that exerts decent grip. Give this a year in bottle.-Neal Martin, Vinous Media
