93/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons wafts from the glass with aromas of pear, green apple, white flowers, freshly baked bread and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and elegant, it's suave and seamless, with lively acids, chalky grip and a long, saline finish.

The 2020 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru is showing just a little reduction on the nose. The palate is well balanced with a sappy, red apple and ginger-tinged entry. There’s fine weight in the mouth, though this Vaillons doesn’t quite deliver the flow or prettiness of the Fôret at the moment, hence my more parsimonious score.
