"A dazzling 1er Cru with surprising length".
"The 2022 Chablis Vau Ligneau 1er Cru "La Manufacture" has a straightforward nose, with scents of orchard fruit and lightly cut grass that gain in complexity with aeration. The palate is well-balanced, with lively acidity and numerous notes of orange pulp and tangerine. Not very complex, with good fruit concentration and sapidity on the finish. Finesse. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis". (Vinous 2024)

Rated wine (guide 2023) 90/100
About the wine:
Well-balanced Premier Cru from the steep vineyards of Vau-Ligneau. Lively acidity on a velvety palate with notes of green apple and slightly less ripe pear. Drink relatively early.
