Vaudevey is one of the coldest premier cru sites in Chablis, and that's the reason to pick it up: Chablis from a spot where the chill does the work. It sits in the valley behind the Côte de Léchet, and Julien Brocard farms four hectares of it on a very steep, east-facing slope that gets the gentler morning sun. He was the first grower in Chablis to farm biodynamically, and it wasn't a popular move. His neighbours worried it would bring disease into their own vineyards. He still does it the old way, down to ploughing with horses. The wine then spends 12 to 13 months in large foudres, big casks that add texture without giving it an oaky taste. You get a premier cru with real richness in the middle that still finishes lean and salty, which is what you want from a cold site.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Oysters on the half shell, sole meunière, seared scallops with brown butter, roast chicken with tarragon cream, or gougères and aged Comté.

Tasting Profile

Dry, fresh Chardonnay. Medium-bodied, with a surprisingly rich, rounded middle and brisk acidity. The large casks add texture but no oaky flavour. It ends on a lean, salty finish.
