Tasting notes Jean-Paul Benoit Droin Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir 2024

White wine Barrel fermented. 10 meses en barrica.

Jean-Paul Benoit Droin Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir 2024 has experienced a serene and favourable year in climatic terms, which is reflected in the exceptional quality of this wine. On the nose, it envelops you with aromas of hazelnut and toasted almond, interwoven with a delicate floral touch. Upon tasting, the initial smoothness and sweetness give way to an elegant structure, upheld by a fine acidity that supports each sip. Its minerality becomes apparent over time, revealing notes of chalk and flint, culminating in a saline and iodine finish. Recommended for its subtlety and elegance, it invites one to savour its complexity at every moment.

About Jean-Paul Benoit Droin Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir

In a region where prices often match the renown, discovering elite quality at a reasonable cost is a rarity. Yet, this is precisely what you find with Domaine Jean-Paul et Benoît Droin. Benoît Droin is not only part of the select elite of producers setting the benchmark in Chablis; he also remains one of the best value propositions in all of Burgundy. And that, nowadays, speaks volumes.

The domaine's history dates back to the 17th century. Over 400 years of winemaking in Chablis have achieved much, but it was Jean-Paul Droin who definitively cemented the modern reputation of the estate. Since 1999, his son Benoît has taken the helm and has refined the style with precision, purity, and utmost respect for the terroir. The result is a collection of whites that, vintage after vintage, gain recognition without losing authenticity.

With 26 hectares spread across the appellation—five Grand Cru, nine Premier Cru, as well as Chablis and Petit Chablis—the estate impresses both in scope and consistency. Yet, the common thread is always the same: the clear expression of the Kimmeridgian limestone. These poor, pale soils, rich in marine fossils, compel the vine to delve deep and endow the wines with that saline tension and crisp minerality that define great Chablis chardonnay.

A perfect example is Jean-Paul Benoît Droin Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir. It originates from 1.04 hectares of steep slopes, where vines around 35 years old thrive on calcareous Kimmeridgian marl.

In the winery, every step is designed to honour the essence of the terroir. The grapes undergo a gentle pneumatic pressing, extracting the juice without aggression, followed by a cold settling for 12 to 24 hours, allowing the heavier particles to naturally settle. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, partly in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatic purity, and partly in barrel, adding elegance and roundness without masking the mineral character. After fermentation, the ageing extends between 8 and 10 months before blending the various lots and preparing the wine for bottling.

In times when many Burgundy wines have become unattainable, Jean-Paul Benoît Droin Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir demonstrates that there are still bottles with historical pedigree, contemporary precision, and terroir soul that remain a savvy purchase.
