Yet, I really liked this wine. In the glass, it exuded aromas of peach, lees, melon and lime. On the palate, there was lemon, lemon rind as well as acidity. I found a ripeness that is often missing from chablis. The wine went well with chicken tarragon.

The VOCORET family is one of the oldest families in Chablis. All generations of the VOCORET family were born in the heart of the old village of Chablis.
Founded by Edouard Vocoret in 1870, DOMAINE VOCORET, a family business for four generations, has always strived to perpetuate and develop the vineyard with, as the primary objective, respect for the terroir and constant improvement.
Originally located in a small street of Vieux Chablis, the vineyard was afterwards transferred to Rue Emile Zola. Robert VOCORET took over the expansion and development of the vineyard with the purchase of new lands. Not to mention, his wife Yvonne, who held an important role in the management of the vineyard and welcoming customers coming to buy their wine at the estate.
He then passed on the responsibilities to his two sons, MICHEL and CLAUDE, who divided the tasks between them. Michel looked after the vine while Claude looked after the winery, the winemaking process and commercial relations. The vineyard, which was in constant development, then moved to 40, Route d'Auxerre at Chablis, its current location.
Then came the time of retirement for Michel and Claude who were succeeded by their own sons. Jérôme, Michel's son, took over the vine part, and Patrice, Claude's son, took over the winemaking process and commercial relations. Sylvain, Patrice's brother, has joined the estate a few years ago and assists Jérôme in the vineyard.
Today, the estate consists of about forty hectares spread over the four appellations.
JEROME VOCORET puts his dedication and passion at the service of the vineyard, providing care and supervision throughout the seasons.
In the cellars, the winemaking process is carried out under the watchful eye of PATRICE VOCORET, who strives to produce wines of an irreproachable quality where the full range of aromas of the Chablis terroir can be discovered.
The estate has always invested in new equipment and machinery of the latest technologies, all the while always strictly maintaining the traditions.
The marketing of the estate's wines is done globally.Chardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeVieilles Vignes Old Vine/Vieilles Vignes (Wikipedia)Les Forêts On weinlagen.infoFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
Chablis Chablis (Fédération de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis) | Chablis (Burgundy Wines)
2014 Vintage Notes:
"... a hybrid of 2004/2007 and 2010. The stone, citrus and limestone amalgam is exactly what we search for in Chablis as the style harkens to a day in the Cote de Beaune proper (1960's - 1980's) when wine was not meant to be consumed the week it was released, battonage was not used by all and new oak was rarely seen ... the texture is natural and 'of the vintage' not 'of the winemaker' .... Like Sancerre or the Loire in general, 2014 in Chablis is one of those rare years with extract and transparency. It appears to be a vintage for the "neoclassic" ages and those of us intent on cellaring the most terroir-driven (but still powerful) examples of vineyard, site-place and varietal will want to invest (heavily) in the magnetic and electric 2014's." - Jon Rimmerman
2018 Vintage Notes:
"There’s not that razor sharp Chablis acidity in 2018,” says Patrick Piuze. “But there is good definition of place. The dry conditions drove vines to drink deeper down in the soil profile."
