Laurent & Céline Notton, Chablis Premier Cru, Vaugiraut 2021

The wine has a pale lemon-yellow color. The nose offers concentration, ripe fruit and complexity. It expresses notes of candied lemon, fresh lemon, pineapple in syrup, juicy yellow peach, ripe apricot, crunchy green apple, as well as spicy notes (vanilla, a fine toasted touch), toasted almond (in the background), white flowers (acacia, honeysuckle) and a chalky, saline mineral note. On the palate, the wine is fresh, straight and complex. It expresses tangy flavors of green apple, fresh lemon, grapefruit (but without bitterness), crunchy apricot, white peach, as well as fine notes of spices (nutmeg), a floral touch (acacia, apple blossom) and mineral (saline, chalky). The finish is long, salivating, with lively acidity and a very fine bitterness. Beautiful complexity, precision and freshness.
