Robert Parker
"Showcasing aromas of fresh peach, Asian pear, apple blossom and orange oil, the 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir is medium- to full-bodied, satiny and charming, with a full core of bright, fragrant fruit, succulent acids and a beautifully defined finish. It's very expressive, just like Vaudésir." (Wine Advocate 2020 - William Kelley)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
An old Chablis family, the Michel's cultivate the very best areas, both premier cru and grand cru. The estate is one of the very few to offer the Grenouilles Grand Cru, whose main producer is La Chablisienne. Since 1969, vinification has been carried out in stainless steel vats, so that the wines here often start off discreetly in bottle, but their minerality reveals itself without concern after a few years' cellaring.

Vaudésir has a slender, precise frame, a sapid, nuanced wine with a firm foundation.
