Domaine Vocoret & Fils Vaillons Chablis Premier Cru 2024 comes from one of the best-known Premier Cru vineyards on the left bank of Chablis, where Chardonnay grows on the limestone-rich soils that give the region its distinctive freshness and mineral character.

Lemon, green apple and ripe pear are joined by white flowers, subtle orchard fruit and oyster-shell minerality. The palate has good concentration and more breadth than a village Chablis, while bright acidity keeps the wine precise and energetic through a long, saline finish.

Vaillons often combines generosity with freshness particularly well, and this 2024 shows that balance clearly. There is enough fruit and texture to make the wine enjoyable young, but the mineral structure and acidity should allow it to develop additional complexity with several years in bottle.

I particularly enjoy the way this wine combines the approachable side of Premier Cru Chablis with the tension and mineral definition we look for from the region. It has substance without becoming heavy and remains very clearly Chablis.

Food Pairing: Pair with oysters, scallops, shrimp, lobster, grilled or roasted fish, sushi, escargot, roast chicken, goat cheese, or seafood dishes with citrus and herbs.

Serve around 50–54°F.
