WINE DESCRIPTION
Vaulorent, situated within Fourchaume, one of Chablis' renowned Premiers Crus, holds distinction as the sole Premier Cru on the Grand Cru hill, neighboring Grand Cru Les Preuses. Cultivated on Kimmeridgian soils, the Chardonnay undergoes natural yeast fermentation, with alcoholic fermentation and maturation on lees transpiring in oak for 14-15 months. The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation. Aromatically, it exudes perfumed notes of fresh stone fruits—apricots, peaches, yellow apples—alongside lemon zest and a hint of clotted cream. On the palate, it reveals a creamy, full-bodied character, delightful upon release, and poised for graceful aging.
