  La Chablisienne (Chablis): Named after the early owner of the valley, Laurent, Vaulorent (Valley of Laurent) is situated on the right bank of the Serein. Vaulorent shares with Fourchaume, a number of characteristics, though it is the only one lieu dit within that premiere cru to touch the Chablis Grand Cru appellation: Preuses and Bougros. This proximity to the Grands Crus de Chablis gives it a special aura: open to the Serein valley, it benefits from double exposure and ideal sunshine conditions. The soils are deep and clayey at the foot of the hill, more stony at the top.
  
  This wine shows a bigger, more masculine side of Chablis with pronounced notes of vanilla seeds, toasted hazelnut, underproved dough, brioche, seaweed, smell of the sea. This will be ready in 2-3 years and I think it's going to be great. 89+

  Vaulorent is an exceptional Premier Cru, located just north-west of Preuses, and this wine has the opulence and flavour authority that should come with that. In this warm year the acidity is on the softer side but still firm, and the balance on the palate is fine, without any sense of overripeness in the green and yellow fruit. There is a comfortable feeling of warmth from the (older) wood and the finish displays good minerality, but it also feels just a bit flat, perhaps lacking real cut and drive. Very good rather than outstanding. Drink now - 2025.

  Στον Σύνδεσμο. Δεύτερο κρασί και δεύτερο Chablis της βραδιάς και είπαμε να πάμε μία κατηγορία πάνω σε κανένα 1er Cru. Μονόχνωτο, χασμουρηθήκαμε και βλέμματα «άντε να τελειώνει να πάμε στο επόμενο και αυτή η παπαριά τώρα είναι ακριβότερη από το προηγούμενο υπερόχο Chablis”

  Bu rapidement mais c'est bon. Ça montre une belle concentration et ça se boit bien en jeunesse. Mon premier Vaulorent. De cette brève expérience, ça me semble un peu plus tendu et vif que Fourchaume.
