Chablis Grand
Cru VAUDÉSIR
- 1991

" Still
too much in its prime to offer a rounded, floral mouth, this
Vaudésir shows promise of prosperous aging over a few years.
Fairly light cloak. "
Chablis Grand
Cru Les CLOS 1991
" It
is said that Chablis viticulture took its first steps on the
slopes of Les Clos, a wine which has just started opening
out :mineral, floral notes followed by exotic fruit aromas,
not too assertive with a fairly soft temperament. "
Chablis ler Cru
Les VAILLONS 1991
"
It
is no saint. One could even say it is full of devilment.
Under a soft appearance its attack in the mouth is forceful,
lively and pugnacious. If it is left in peace it will
no doubt find the way to salvation. " |

Grand Cru
Les BLANCHOTS -1991

Coup de coeur
" A good
Chablis, writes Raymond Dumay, has love to offer. And this wine wins hearts with rare elegance and remarkable
thrift.
Nothing dramatic, just all-through delicacy
with subtle undertones, shimmering pale gold, tactful woody
shades with predominant acacia, one suitender, to the
pleasure of a perfectly developed lingering finish. "

Blanchots 1991 Vieille vigne
by
Billaud-Simon ( helas! produced in supremely
confidential quantity ) showed astonishing fullness of
structure for this vintage exhibiting all the nobility of
its soil with his incredible aroma both lactic and tainted
with mushroom ".
