The 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons mingles aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit and white peach with hints of beeswax and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping but incisive, with tangy acids and fine depth at the core, it's long and saline. Score: 92 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2025-2045 05 August 2021 |

A slightly riper and quite dense nose features notes of white pepper, quinine, mineral reduction and a combination of orchard fruit compote scents. There is excellent volume to the sappy and powerful flavors that, somewhat surprisingly, flirt with rusticity on the noticeably warm bitter lemon-inflected finish. Like the Beauroy, this is not a Vaillons of finesse, but it certainly cannot be faulted for a lack of frank character. Score: 89 - 92 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2024+ 10 November 2020 |

Just racked, so this has not fallen clear. Mostly from central Vaillons itself, the 2019 starts quietly, but then shows real weight behind, before the typical lemon freshness of the finish. The fruit through the middle is richer than Vaillons used to be, now with, some peachier notes. The bouquet maintains a touch of the smokiness, but with ripe fruit intruding. Long and complex. Score: 90 - 93 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy 01 July 2020 |
