90/100Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2023 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has a backward nose that's old school in style with green apple, undergrowth and crushed stone aromas. There's something uncompromising here, which I like. The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity, a pleasant edginess and a brisk, citrus peel-tinged finish that gently fans out. It's not bad, though this needs a little more nervosité. Tasted blind at the BIVB offices in Chablis.
