Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Drouhin Vaudon 2020

Precise and mineral, this Grand Cru shows citrus zest, green apple, and white peach on the palate, balanced by a chiselled line of acidity and a saline, flinty edge. Aromas of lemon blossom, chalk, and crushed stone rise from the glass, while its pale gold colour with green reflections mirrors the freshness and energy within. The finish is long, tense, and mineral-driven, leaving a lingering impression of citrus and oyster shell.

The Drouhin Vaudon estate, fully dedicated to Chablis, draws fruit for this cuvée from the Bougros Grand Cru on the western edge of the famous hill of Grands Crus. Here, steep slopes of Kimmeridgian limestone and a south-facing exposition give wines of both power and precision. In the warm yet balanced 2020 vintage, the result is a Chablis of concentration and finesse — combining ripe fruit with the hallmark tension that defines true Grand Cru terroir.
