Chablis 1er cru Vaulorent 2010
An expansive nose with a pronounced floral character is trimmed in soft wood and sea shore nuances. In contrast to the Montée de Tonnerre, this is beautifully complex with fine richness to the mouth coating, round and ultra-refined flavors that possess a silky mouth feel before terminating in a balanced, focused and impressively persistent finish. Lovely juice.

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
