What do the experts say?

“

Allen Meadow: “An exuberantly floral-suffused nose possesses plenty of classic Chablis elements in the form of iodine, shrimp shell and mineral reduction. There is excellent mid-palate density to the attractively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess both good richness and volume before concluding in a balanced, beautifully persistent and moderately dry finale. This could use better complexity, but Vaulorent typically develops extremely well. "
