We were delighted to welcome Jasper Morris in July 2024 for a tasting of the 2023 vintage. You will find below his tasting notes and comments published on his website insideburgundy.com
Chablis 1er Cru Vosgros 2023 – 91pts
A mix of Vosgros and its subdivision of Vaugiraut. Pale colour with a lime tint. Not buttery, more a saline reduction. Pure white fruit with a little flesh on the palate. Still a little reductive at the finish. When this blows off the core of the wine should expand further. In the bottle drink from 2026-2030. Tasted Jul 2024.
Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2023 – 89-91 pts
Purchased fruit from old vines. Rather richer, sunny and buttery together. Needs a bit of freshening up. Some tension, confit de citron, fairly generous aftertaste. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted Jul 2024.
Chablis 1er Cru Vaucoupin 2023 – 90-91 pts
Just racked. Pale colour, quite refined, fresh herbs such as verbena, a suggestion of coconut (without oak) a thought of honeysuckle behind. A fine long saline finish, yet with the extra generosity of the vintage. Interesting more than classic. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted Jul 2024.
Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume 2023 – 90-92 pts
Purchased fruit from Côte de Fontenay. Fuller yellow with a green streak. Back to the more lactic style. Then a wealth of fruit behind, quite a dynamic energy for Fourchaume, a little bit reductive, fresh plum fruit, good length. Drink from 2027-2031. Tasted Jul 2024.
Chablis Grand Cru Bougros 2023 – 90-92 pts
One 10hl stainless steel tank. Pale colour with a light green streak. Not super expressive in bouquet but showing some power. A little sucrosity on the palate though cut through with the acidity of the backbone. Fair length. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted Jul 2024.
Chablis Grand Cru Peuses 2023 – 91-93 pts
In stainless steel barrels. A little more colour, still bright and vivid. More generous fruit on the nose, ripe apple, now the sunshine shows with peach and honeysuckle, but without sucrosity and staying close to its mineral origins. Lovely in its style. Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted Jul 2024.
