Tasting Note

The shallow depth of soil allows the acidic structure to be expressed, with a wine that has a powerful first impact without being too full, developing great freshness throughout tasting. Minerality is strong, expressed already on the nose with notes of wet stones. In sunnier years, there are notes of citrus, both white and yellow fleshed fruit. Always a little secretive and reserved when young, Vaucoupin is a wine for keeping which fully expands at 10 years or more

Product Notes

Jean-Paul and Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Vaucoupin is an exquisite wine that boasts a refreshing finish and a crisp minerality. This Chardonnay-based varietal is grown in the acclaimed Vaucoupin vineyard, located in Chablis, France. The wine is characterized by its subtle aromas of lemon, white flowers, and minerals, which are followed by a bright palate that is laced with subtle citrus and saline notes. The wine is aged for 12 months in stainless steel tanks, which lends it a delightful texture that is both creamy and fresh. The result is an exceptional wine that is perfect for serving as an aperitif, alongside seafood dishes, or any light fare.
