Drunk over 2 days, needed some minutes of air to unfold: pretty straight, lemon, some apples, salty and stony, some honey notes, excellent length. I prefer it vs the larger Vaillons 09, the recently tasted Forest 09 is very good too. No change on day 2. Drink it now or over the next 10-15 years. By the way: I was today in Chablis and tasted the 2020 of Dauvissat from the barrel: grande année classique, real beauties - unfortunately huge losses due to frost in 2021.

Ripe fruit, mainly apple and grapefruit, with aeration salty, iodine notes are getting more present, the wine seems to go out of the honeyed period on a more focused and straight level.

From 75cl, inferior cork soggy and pasty half-way back, wine unaffected. Such a relief to open a 11-year old Chablis which isn't premoxed or plain corked. This bottle exactly like the one recorded here on 25.04.2018: brilliant scent and finish (tangerine oil aromatics!) let down badly by the relatively soggy, flabby, flat, boring mid-palate. Probably better sooner rather than later, even if your bottle is as intact as this one was. 88-89P

First bottle from a case of 12. This is in much better shape than 2009 Vaillons, much tighter, more strict. Opens up with notes of wool, stone and grapefruit/lime. There’s a brisk note of salt/brine on the nose. Focused with good depth and cut. Spices, lemon curd. Dauvissat the way I like it.

Stony and iodine, good tension and length, there is lot of citrus and some honey. In a good spot right now.
