Domaine de la Motte - Chablis Vau-Ligneau 1er Cru 2017
90/100
Robert Parker
"Complex aromas of mandarin orange, oyster shell, iodine, peach, and beeswax introduce the 2017 Chablis Premier Cru Vau-Ligneau, a medium-bodied to full-bodied, silky, and elegant wine with racy acidity and a delicately musky, salty finish. (Wine Advocate 2019 - William Kelley) Utterly subtle!

Very disappointed, accustomed to Châblis wines, I find nothing in this estate, harsh acidity, you can't even recognize the grape variety, I don't recommend it.
