Product Notes

Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent is an exceptionally crafted French wine from the heart of Burgundy, known for its delicate balance and richness. This wine showcases a tantalising aroma of citrus fruits mingled with nuances of minerality. Its palatable freshness magically blends with an intricate depth of flavours, revealing the essence of ripe apples, pear, and subtle floral notes. These delectable nuances are drawn from the Vaulorent vineyards, famed for their Kimmeridgian soils. An outstanding companion to seafood dishes, the Droin Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent is a cherished legacy of the Droin family, representing over 400 years of winemaking expertise.

Tasting Notes

From opening, notes of flint and lemon zest are quickly detectable. On the palate, the wine is long and well-defined. Its beautiful acidity satisfies lovers of sleek, refined Chablis. Over the years, its aromas of gunflint, flint and oyster shell will gain in intensity. It can be enjoyed young for its fruit and energy during its first three years. If not, it is imperative to wait 7 to 10 years or more
