Overview:
Domaine Drouhin-Vaudon 2021 Chablis embodies the essence of the northernmost Burgundy vineyards, located in a dramatic amphitheatre of hills, rich in history and geological significance. The Drouhin family has long been a pioneering force in this region, with Robert Drouhin leading the charge to rejuvenate the Chablis vineyards in the 1960s after the devastation of phylloxera. The soil, rich in Kimmeridgian limestone, imbues the wine with its distinct mineral characteristics. This Chablis offers a sophisticated yet accessible introduction to the region, made with precision and a dedication to the terroir that allows the wine’s vibrant, fresh nature to shine through.
Tasting Notes:
The 2021 Chablis presents a pale gold hue with greenish undertones, indicative of its youthful vibrancy. Aromas of zesty lemon and grapefruit intertwine with subtle hints of fern and coriander, offering a fresh and aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is dry, crisp, and fruity, with a delicate minerality that brings a sense of purity and balance. The long, satisfying finish is clean and refreshing, showcasing the wine's characteristic minerality. A versatile wine, perfect for pairing with seafood, shellfish, or light salads, it is also delightful on its own for those seeking a refined, refreshing drink.
