The yields were so short in Vaulorent this year that Guillaume had to store the wine in one of those very small tanks that has a floating top to accommodate the small volume of wine. He mentioned that he bottled this wine in August of 2025, earlier than the other premier crus, as he just did not trust the seal on the top of the moveable top and did not want the wine to oxidize while awaiting bottling. The wine has turned out brilliantly, delivering a complex and vibrant nose of lemon, pear, a touch of anise, white flowers, a complex foundation of chalky minerality and a topnote of oyster shell. On the palate the wine is pure, precise, full-bodied and mineral-driven in personality, with a great core of fruit, racy acids and stunning length and grip on the impeccably balanced, complex and precise finish. Grand cru quality. 2029-2060.
