Crisp Green Apple, White Flowers, and Pure Kimmeridgian Marine Freshness

The 2023 Drouhin Vaudon Chablis "Réserve de Vaudon" is a beautifully elevated, expressive, and pristine white Burgundy that captures the pure essence of Chablis. Sourced from selected organic estate parcels around the historical Moulin de Vaudon, it offers a step up in depth and complexity from standard village Chablis. Vibrant aromas of crisp green apple, fresh lemon zest, white floral blossoms, and wet limestone open into a medium-bodied, satiny palate filled with pure orchard fruit, energetic acidity, and a long, saline-mineral finish.

Terroir & Winemaking

  • The Estate Réserve Terroir: "Réserve de Vaudon" represents a special selection from Drouhin’s historic estate vineyards surrounding the 18th-century Moulin de Vaudon watermill along the Serein River. Planted on classic Kimmeridgian limestone rich in fossilized sea shells, these hillside parcels produce Chardonnay with heightened concentration, pristine citrus focus, and distinct marine minerality.
  • Domaine Vaudon Organic Craftsmanship: Cultivated organically with strict yield controls, the grapes are whole-bunch pressed and vinified exclusively in stainless steel tanks. Aged on fine lees to build mid-palate texture without oak influence, it showcases Drouhin's signature style of purity, tension, and unvarnished Chablis terroir.

Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay harvested from organically farmed estate vineyards in Chablis.
  • A radiant 2023 release bursting with green apple, fresh lemon zest, white blossom, and crushed oyster shell.
  • Crafted by Drouhin Vaudon, offering immediate freshness and 5 to 8+ years of cellar potential.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Pale straw-gold with vibrant greenish-yellow reflections.
  • Nose: Fresh, aromatic, and mineral-driven. It opens with aromas of crisp green apple, white peach, and fresh lemon peel, layered with white floral blossoms, wet limestone, and sea-breeze minerality.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and satiny. The entry brings a pure wave of orchard fruit sap that glides across a focused, mineral-laden mid-palate, propelled by chiseled acidity into a clean, long, saline-tinged finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve chilled at 10–12°C to emphasize its bright fruit purity and marine mineral freshness.
  • Decanting: No decanting needed; open directly before serving. Best enjoyed now through 2031+.
  • Western Pairing: Fresh oysters on the half shell, pan-seared sea bass, goat cheese salad, or sole meunière.
  • Asian Pairing: Steamed grouper with ginger and scallions, fresh sashimi, salt-and-pepper squid, or Cantonese dim sum.
