Not the best Grand Cru Vaudesir I’ve had. It is a 2022, which makes it a bit more of a head scratcher. It is not bad, just not living up to the terroir and vintage. Expected a bit more.

The nose shows nice stone fruits, green & golden apple, lemon, lime with zest, slightly overripe pineapple, kiwi, saline, sea spray, whipped cream, slight notes of flint-gun metal, bread dough-pie crust, nice chalkiness, volcanics, limestone yellow lilies, spring flowers framed in greens.

The palate is ripe, juicy with hints of paraffin. Both stone fruits, green & golden apple, lemon, lime with zest, slightly overripe pineapple, kiwi, tropical melons, saline, sea spray, gentle white spice with some medium palate heat, whipped cream, slight notes of flint-gin metal, bread dough-pie crust, graham cracker’s, honey, marmalade, butterscotch candy, caramel, vanilla, grainy chalkiness, volcanics, limestone yellow lilies, spring flowers framed in greens, nice round, rainfall acidity with a well balanced, mid tension/structure, nice length and elegant, rich finish that lands in butterscotch, spice and minerals.

Best to let this one warm up. You’ll get more out of it. Drink over the next 5-8 yrs. — 16 days ago

A little linear but pretty and lifted nose of small berries, orchard apple, lemon rind. Beautiful effervescence and acidity. A little better at the end perhaps a sign of warm vintage but good effort regardless. — 5 years ago

This was quite different but I liked it. More if a plum, cherries and almost a grape flavor and tannic. Really unique — 6 years ago

1.6g dosage, degorgement 03/2023. From Verzy. This is ridiculous juicy and addicting. Quite golden in color. Fine bubbles. Fruity, apple driven and quite bit of raspberry! Delicious 🤤. And for 75$ a crazy deal for a GG. Tasted with Jason the Importer. Amitie Wines. — 7 months ago

A well made Chablis for a bargain price. Enticing minerality against a fruit palette of crisp Asian apple and pear. Served at around 46 degrees F to support an overall freshness. — 2 years ago

2022 vintage. A relatively new estate ( first vintage 1972, and bought in 1993 by Belgian MD Gaëtan Lagneaux, who sadly passed away at the age of 50 in 2012). His son Adrien has directed the estate ever since, and I believe his father would have been proud of him tasting this 2022. I don't know the exact blend for this vintage, but the vineyard is planted with 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot. A little less colour compared to Coutelin-Merville tasted alongside , but more refined in both nose and taste. Abv. 13,5 %.

Happy fall! Calvados remains the best after dinner drink, in my somewhat humble opinion, especially on a crisp autumn evening. — 5 years ago

Medium body, medium acidity, high tannins. Slight taste of strawberry and cranberry, dusty and clay earth, and very spicy. This is for fans of dry earthy reds, but who want a lighter bodied red. — 6 years ago
