Gautheron Vaucoupin Chablis Premier Cru 2022

"The 2022 Chablis Vaucoupin 1er Cru has potent sea scents on the nose and a tang of shucked oyster shells. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and saline. It is classical in style, with a reserved but compelling finish. Understated in the best way possible, it is one for Chablis purists. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis." -Neal Martin 93 points Vinous Media June, 2024

This opens with a well delineated cut of citrus, hazelnuts, oyster shell, lemon juice, and a just there white nectarine. On the palate this is moderate in weight with good acid and a flavor set that highlights a salinity mixed with citrus and just there hazelnut. MK D&M
