Description

This is an outstanding Chablis which comes from a vineyard that sits just below the superlative Premier Cru, Montée de Tonnerre. With a level of quality and concentration that is comparable to Premier Cru Chablis, there is a weight and breadth to the palate that is beautifully accentuated by pristine acidity and a crushed stone-like minerality.

The Producer

Edouard's family owns Domaine Vocoret & Fils, a well known and large Chablis domaine, with over 50 hectares planted including six Chablis premiers crus and renowned for its solid, tradionally-styled wines. Edouard and Eleni partnered while in New Zealand but returned to Chablis to run a small plot of 3.3 hectares in the family vineyard.

They are currently producing two wines: Chablis "Bas de Chapelot" and Chablis 1er Cru "Butteaux." Bas de Chapelot comes from 3ha just beneath Montée de Tonnerre while the Butteaux parcel is 0.3ha. Vincent Dauvissat is a mentor and a source of inspiration for the Vocorets.
