The 2023 Vaudésir offers up a bright and nascently complex bouquet of apple, pear, lime blossoms, chalky minerality, citrus peel and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and really has stunning depth of fruit at the core, with explosive backend energy and grip, fine balance and a long, minerally and very promising, but still quite primary finish. All this needs is time. 2031-2070.

It is open and generous with fresh cream, yellow plums, warm hay and roasted almonds competing to outdo the others. Sea breezes and roaring acidity lighten up the back palate of this tantalizing, reverberating Vaudésir.

Our Domaine’s parcel is located in the mid-valley area. A whitish and chalky limestone clay is predominant in its steepest part, while the west side has browner clay soils. Wines made from the vines that grow here are tight, with saline notes and a wonderful creamy mouthfeel. This Grand Cru has the distinction of bein g accessible and generous, even in its youth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementToProof\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTerroir:\u003c\/b\u003e Kimmeridgian.
