For me, Vaudésir is usually the "not" Chablis Grand Cru-not as powerful as Valmur, not as complex as Les Preuses, and not as complete as Les Clos. So it is with this Louis Michel wine, yet it is still brilliant. Medium yellow. Musky citrus and oyster shell aromas. Medium body but a glorious, silky feel. Extraordinary balance of ripe citrus, perfect acidity, soil, and a pleasing touch of citrus zest bitterness. Mea culpa for my prejudices; this was a totally winning wine.

Tart apples, minerals, citrus, a hint of flint, and saline notes on the nose. Very well balanced with good acidity and flavors of apples, chalk, salt, and a little bit of tropical fruit on the palate. Nice finish. Lovely wine all around with everything in the right place, but maybe not quite interesting enough to make it really special. Can't complain for the price, though.

In an absolutely perfect spot to enjoy over a great dinner @ Le Bernardin.
Striking a harmonious balance!

Still young and a bit knit. Opens up with some air. Very nice yellow fruit, with some fresh citrus in the background. Big upside ahead.
