The history of the Domains de Vauroux is intertwined with the rebirth of the Chablis wine growing region in Burgundy, undertaken in the 1970s. Olivier's father, Jean-Pierre and his uncle, Claude, planted their first vines in 1972. They subsequently acquired multiple plots, eventually creating an estate of 13 hectares in one area, located on the hills of Chablis.
Tasting Notes:
This light gold in colour white wine is expressive, soft and fresh bodied, a wine full of promise. Aromas of butter and lemon yogurt dominate the nose, on the palate the creaminess continues but with a depth of stony restraints. Full and pleasant with a lasting citrus finish, and a great aromatic persistency.
This is the only one of Vaouroux's wines to be barrel fermented, 9 months in French oak barrels.
