The 2022 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru is often one of my favorite cuvées from Brocard. This has a succinct nose with peach skin, yellow flowers and subtle earthy scents. Superb delineation. The palate is well balanced with more salinity than the Fourchaume. Crisp and taut with a sense of energy on the finish. Excellent. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2024)

Bright, acidic, honeysuckle, lemon curd, thin mouth feel and a short finish. — a month ago
The 2022 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru is similar to the bottle tasted last year with those traits of asparagus and nettle– quite involving aromatics. The palate is fresh with a crisp and pleasing line of acidity, though perhaps less malic than I remember it 12 months ago. Still worth picking up. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2024)

This is much more backward and has a tannic edge to it, dark fruits, good length, I suspect that this will always show that tannic edge, big and richer than the Traboules, but I prefer the refined aromatics and balance of the Traboules tonight. — a month ago
Cool lime and a shiny undertow. Lovely fresh fruit- restrained, detailed, delicate but intense with a puckering saline finish. Really delicious — 4 months ago

Sticking with the Vau de Vey alliterative format, this is very vibrant and vivacious. Extraordinarily pure ripe apple (with a nod toward peach) fruit on the nose, backed up with very clean limestoney minerality. On the palate, there’s an immediate jolt of very pure fruit, a soft, enveloping texture, and then the mineral notes kick in on the extended finish. Clearly unoaked, and with crisp, integrated acidity. Nicely done. Textbook. — 2 days ago
