Domaine Eleni et Edouard Vocoret,
Ready, but will keep,
This is from an excellent spot between Montmains and Vosgros, on an identical slope to the Premiers Crus, but which for some reason was omitted from the Premier Cru appellation – perhaps because the slope had not been replanted post-phylloxera when the map was being drawn up. Stricter and more linear than the Boucheran cuvée, this is saline, mineral and fine, with crackling energy and tension. Will require more time, and perhaps one for true Chablis purists. Drink now to 2024.

Domaine Eleni et Edouard Vocoret,
Ready, but will improve,
This comes from a parcel located between the Premiers Crus of Montmains and Vaillons, with a band of clay running through the vineyard. The nose is classy and refined, with crystalline orchard fruits and a hint of earthy mineral reduction. The entry is voluminous and rich, but there is a real finesse behind, with minerality that builds from a discreet base to give a stinging finish. Excellent. Drink now to 2024.

Domaine Eleni et Edouard Vocoret,
Ready, but will improve,
The Vocorets have just a third of a hectare in this vineyard, enough to make eight barrels in a good vintage. A real step up in concentration from the Vocorets’ excellent village wines, there is real complexity on the nose; lemon rind, oyster shell and iodine notes mix with touches of clay and green apple. The palate is sophisticated and layered, with a precise and understated power that carries the wine to a lingering, tangy finish. Drink now to 2029.

Edouard's family owns Domaine Vocoret & Fils, a well known and large Chablis domaine, with over 50 hectares planted including six Chablis premiers crus and renowned for its solid, tradionally-styled wines. Edouard and Eleni partnered while in New Zealand but returned to Chablis to run a small plot of 3.3 hectares in the family vineyard.
They are currently producing two wines: Chablis "Bas de Chapelot" and Chablis 1er Cru "Butteaux." Bas de Chapelot comes from 3ha just beneath Montée de Tonnerre while the Butteaux parcel is 0.3ha. Vincent Dauvissat is a mentor and a source of inspiration for the Vocorets.
