Billaud-Simon Vaudésir Chablis Grand Cru 2018

Toasty, nutty richness lays itself like a warming blanket over this wine’s nose, but underneath some ripe, lemon-edged stonefruit peeps through promisingly. The palate is still dominated by that toasty sheen, but it is only a question of time before the vivid, concentrated fruit integrates this, making the wine more of a unit. It has rich texture, lovely depth, generous fruit and ripe freshness. Drink 2025-2040. Score – 96. (Anne Krebiehl, MW, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 31, 2020)
