Joseph Drouhin 2018 Drouhin Vaudon Bougros Grand Cru (Chablis)
Cellar Selection
Toasted hazelnut, chalk plus the merest hint of summer blossom and creaminess combine into a subdued but utterly attractive nose on this wine. The palate has the same sonorous and gentle texture, rich, layered and giving a real sense of chalkiness. All is pervaded by lemon freshness. The ripeness of 2018 is beautifully managed here, manifesting itself in an elegant, smooth and cooling wine. Drink 2025–2045. Anne Krebiehl MW
