2020 Chablis 1er Cru Vau de Vey Pierrick Laroche (Maison des Hâtes)
Because of its south and east exposure, Vau de Vey only gets the morning sun. It thus qualifies as a cool Climat, even more so due to the north wind that rushes into the valley. And the wines reflect this through their restraint, crispness and purity. Here there is a particularly thick layer of Kimmeridgian marl in the subsoil, while the extremely steep hillsides make machine access almost impossible in some places! Pierrick’s Vau de Vey sees 15 months elevage in used barrels.
”This from a contract – the same vigneron each year, in must. A large part in large-format barrels – but all barrel elevage. That’s fresh and floral – less width but with attractive intensity. Unlike the nose, the flavour profile is a little warmer and rounder but also very tasty. This is completely delicious and has a fine mineral finish. This is clearly excellent wine.” Burgundy-report.com, Bill Nanson, February 2022.
