Reviews:

• Wine & Spirits: A mix of estate-grown and purchased fruit, this gains its richness over the course of eight months aging on the lees in stainless steel. Its a refreshing, simple wine with classical Chablis notes of citrus and savory nuts, opening to floral earthiness that hints at freshly churned butter and bloomy-rind cheeses. Add some crusty bread and ripe Epoisses and youd have a meal.

• Wine Spectator: Well-delineated, revealing floral, apple, lemon and crushed gravel aromas and flavors. Linear and vibrant, with fine balance, length and a lip-smacking finish.

Producer Information

Domaine Drouhin Vaudon is a wine producer located in Chablis, in northeastern France, and part of the Beaune-based Burgundy producer and ngociant house, Joseph Drouhin. The domaine produces an impressive range of Chardonnay wines from Petit Chablis to Chablis Grand Cru and is recognized as one of Chablis’ benchmark estates. It is one of the largest biodynamic estates in the region. The estate is made up of almost four hectares (10 acres) of vineyard land in the grand cru vineyards Vaudsir, Les Clos, Les Preuses and Bougros, as well as some seven hectares (17 acres) of Chablis Premier Cru vineyards and 68 hectares (168 acres) of village-level Chablis land on both sides of the Serein River. The sites are composed primarily of Chablis’ classic Kimmeridgian soil a blend of limestone, clay, and fossilized oyster shells. The estate vineyards have been organic since 1990 and biodynamic since 1999. Drouhin Vaudon’s fruit is picked at yields 20 percent below the authorized level to maintain grape quality. The grand cru grapes and some of the premier cru grapes are typically fermented and aged in old French oak barrels for up to 12 months. The village wines are fermented and aged in stainless steel for up to eight months. Domaine Drouhin Vaudon was founded by Robert Drouhin in the 1960s, and is based at a historic 18th century watermill on the Serein River.
