William Fevre Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent 2018 1500ml Non Vintage mineral-driven black and blue fruitAs usual, the 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Vaulorent is one of the finest premiers crus in the cellar, delivering an incipiently complex bouquet of fresh peach, crisp green orchard fruit, dried white flowers, smoke and oyster shell. Medium to full bodied, satiny and complete, it's layered and multidimensional, with fine depth at the core, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. William Kelley Wine Advocate
