Really good. Nose has deep chalky, brothy earthiness, ripe Chardonnay fruit, a touch of oak. The palate is ripe and deep, but there’s nice acidity keeping it lively. Loads of dry extract. As the deep fruit fades, minerality and a cleansing bitter note replaces it. Wow. Vaulorent really is a cut above most other 1er crus. Side note: my first Chablis ever (my last year of college) was a Robert Vocoret Vaulorent (‘75 I think) from the close-out bin of a center city Philly state liquor store. I remember being amazed by it.
