The Premier Cru Vau de Vey vines cling on to a very steep slope. Located on the left bank of the Serein River and facing East, this terroir gives us rich and delicate wines with a marked minerality.
"The 2022 Chablis Vau de Vey 1er Cru has a nicely detailed bouquet of wet stone intermixed with subtle orchard fruit aromas. It takes a few swirls of the glass to find its groove. The palate is fresh and saline on the entry, with modest depth and hints of orange rind and sea salt towards the finish. This bides its time, unfurling with each swirl but retaining control on the finish." — 92 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
