2023 Chablis 1er Cru Vau de Vey, La Grande Chaume

The 2023 Chablis 1er Cru Vau De Vey La Grande Chaume reveals aromas of orange oil, pear and freshly baked bread, complemented by notes of almond paste, sandalwood and dried flowers. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, ample and textural, with a sweet, concentrated core, concluding with a long, persistent finish. The wine derives from a steep, southeast-facing lieu-dit planted between 1980 and 1985 and, like the rest of Arnaud’s 2023s, was matured for its first year in barrels before completing élevage in stainless steel tank.
