James Suckling
Reviewed June 2026Clean and pure, with concentrated minerality, oyster shells, green apples and stone fruit. Full-bodied, really tight-knit and taut, full of salivating salinity and minerality. A cerebral vintage for chablis lovers to buy. Drink or hold.

Jasper Morris
Made from 65 year old vines in the centre of Vaillons which unfortunately were at the centre of the hail there. Pale in colour. A really refined bouquet, excellent purity, salivating long before I get to the finish, a little youthful bitterness at the finish adds to the tension and salinity. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Jun 2025.

Vinous
The 2024 Chablis Vaillons Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru comes from 60-year-old vines that suffered hail damage. It has a complex, focused bouquet that's quite intense due to the low yield (20 hl/ha). The palate is citrus-fresh, edgy and tensile on the entry. It's almost steely for a Vaillons, with just a slight reduction lending energy on the finish. The 2024 has great potential.(NM)

Burghound
Note: from Vaillons proper that produced only 10 hl/ha in 2024. Airy and cool aromas include those of white pepper, floral, oyster shell and a whiff of tidal pool character. The super-sleek and borderline painfully intense medium weight flavors possess impressively length on the very dry and cuts-like-a-knife finale. Lovely.*Burghound Outstanding!*
