Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru replaces the Vaillons this year and Billaud's supplier could not deliver - only two barrels-worth. It has a taut and crisp bouquet with green apple and light wild peach aromas. The palate is firm with nice acidity; it's linear and correct with hints of white peach and pear towards the pretty finish. Very fine. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90)Pale lemon yellow, with a delicious. This is proper classical Chablis and is already good to drink, though will keep nicely. An oyster shell salinity features notably and the wine is properly persistent for a straight Chablis. Drink from 2024-2028. Tasted Jul 2024. |

Vinous (90-93)(tasted from a smaller stainless steel tank; this had previously been aging in barriques Very ripe aromas of peach and vanilla. Sweet, fat and fine-grained, with a distinctly silky texture to the apricot and almond flavors. Rather muscular and quite classically dry, and yet there's a suggestion of exotic ripeness throughout. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94)Lemony colour. A touch of the wet wool reduction, more usual on a wine with greater age, but not in itself suggesting evolution. This wet wool aromatic is really just a sulphur compound, I believe. Then very spicy behind with a raft of white fruit energy and good acidity. Hangs on in well, plenty of latent concentration, just closed at the moment. Drink from 2028-2038. Tasted Jul 2024. |

Vinous (88)The 2020 Chablis Tête d'Or derives only domaine fruit, and unlike the regular Chablis, it is aged a little longer with 25-30% barrels, mixed used and new with some 500-litre casks. It offers orchard fruit, touches of pressed white flowers on the nose and fine presence, but it's just missing a little personality. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, green apples with a touch of pear and a nice steely finish, albeit just missing a little length. |

Burghound (89)(from 2 parcels situated in the village of Bas de Chapelot raised in 25 to 30% five+ year old wood). A discreet dollop of wood sets off a similar set of aromas that offer a hint of wet stone. The mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors is also sleek and vibrant with a slightly finer texture that carries over to the balanced, youthfully austere and slightly more compact finale. This is very good for its level and worth considering. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2020 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru is more hesitant on the nose compared to the Meursault-Charmes, touches of wax resin and crushed stone, a little jasmine, quite tight on the finish. Like others I am just missing a sense of tension and mineralité here. |
