Vaucher Père & Fils Chénas 2024

Matured in concrete vats, this very attractive and quite elegant Chénas shows gorgeous, layered flavours that feature red cherries, plums, and berries, with nuanced top notes of spice. The acid is perfectly calibrated to the fruit, giving the texture freshness, lightness, and a touch of juiciness. This is a perfectly lovely wine that will bring out the best in food. Drink now to the late 2020s. (Tasted April 2025.) Score – 94. (Rod Phillips)
