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. "

Chablis 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. "

"Chablis: changing of the guard"
" The Grand Cru les 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 ".
