Robert Goulley Chablis Premier Cru Vaucoupin 2023

Share

The Robert Goulley Chablis range is part of the Domaine Gueguen empire, based in the region. Premier Cru Chablis is an underappreciated gem, these days – once, it was very much top of mind (look only to the wines of which Charles Dickens wrote, and drank, for evidence). Vaucoupin is a highly regarded Cru. The Kimmeridgian clay is shallow here and the result is a degree of elegance not always seen in other top Crus in the region. Deep lemon, there are exotic spice notes with florals and citrus. This is a finely balanced example with the typical Chardonnay notes of white peaches and melon interwoven with hints of lemon spongecake. There is a seamless structure to this wine, a hint of a creamy note on the palate, juicy acidity and very good length. This is a fine example of Vaucoupin for enjoying over the next six to eight years.
