CHABLIS 1er Cru Vaillons Domaine Raoul Gautherin 2023
The 2023 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru is slightly paler than Gautherin's other cuvées. It foregoes the Vaillons' usual creaminess on the nose. This is a little more taut and stony at first, though after ten minutes, there are finely delineated hints of mascarpone and lemon verbena. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with lovely weight and texture. It's a little round, but there is sufficient acidity to keep this on its toes and the 2023 feels long on the finish. Warning: this will be difficult to resist.
MARSANNAY Champ Salomon Domaine Derey Frères 2021
Moderately generous wood frames spicy and sauvage-scented aromas of plum and various dark berries. The delicious and vibrant if not especially dense lighter weight flavors possess good detail on the slightly austere and somewhat short finish that flirts with dryness. As the description suggests, this is presently pretty awkward and it’s not clear if this will eventually harmonize.
