Domaine Eleni et Edouard Vocoret

Edouard's family owns Vocoret & Fils, a well known and large Chablis domaine, enowned for its solid, traditionally 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. Vincent Dauvissat is a mentor and source of inspiration for the couple.

From a single plot just below the Premier Cru Montée de Tonnerre. Though still tightly wound in its youth, this displays a lovely floral perfume, almost honeysuckle though without any suggestion of sweetness. Very lovely, long and stylish, with some minerals behind. A classical, concentrated Chablis. Drink 2017-2022.

Picked on 29th September, well before the bad weather arrived. The wine shows the fleshy nature of the best 2013s, along with attractive floral notes, refreshing acidity tucked in behind the fruit and a fine, balanced finish. Drink 2015-2018

Edouard Vocoret is the scion of one of Chablis’ well known families. He met Eleni (née Theodoropoulos ) when they were both working in New Zealand, since when he has apprenticed with the excellent Daniel Barraud (Pouilly Fuissé) while Eleni has been working with Vincent Dauvissat who has given them a great deal of help in setting up their own small domaine in Chablis. We have nicknamed this promising pair the Vocoropouloi.

There are just two wines from the debut vintage, 2013, which has been hand harvested and matured in wood, using older barrels. They have nearly five hectares of Chablis, in three plots, the largest being Le Bas de Chapelot, just below Montée de Tonnerre. This is the only one currently being bottled. There is also a small holding of 1er cru Les Butteaux.

From a subdivision of Montmains, with 50 year old vines. Bottled in June after eighteen months in barrel. There are some delicious lime-flower notes with a perfect vibrancy running through the palate. This has a particularly lovely finish, neither too fat nor too oaky but with the dramatic tension of fine Chablis. Drink 2016-2020
