Critics reviews
Burghound91/100
An expressive, and once again mildly exotic, nose is comprised by notes of oyster shell, iodine and strong mineral reduction. The concentrated, mouth coating and serious flavors are at once muscular yet refined, all wrapped in a long, agreeably dry and balanced finish.

The 2016 Chablis Vaulorent 1er Cru has a really lovely bouquet with dried pineapple, musk, chalk dust and yellow flower aromas. The palate is well balanced with a smooth entry, nicely pitched acidity with a gorgeous yellow plum, orange rind and light strawberry finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent.
Drink 2020 - 2032

Description
The nose has toasted, grilled notes which owe more to the marl soils than any oak ageing. As one would expect from the only Premier Cru on the Grand Cru hill, this is rich and seductive, with a cashmere texture. Excellent acidity; this is an iron fist in a velvet glove, with Grand Cru power and structure. Drink 2021-2026.
