"Vaulorent is a sub-climat of Fourchaume and sits directly across from Les Preuses; it is considered by many, along with Montée de Tonnerre, to be the best 1er in Chablis. This too is very ripe yet manages to retain an aromatic profile that is clearly Chablis-based, running to white flowers and green fruit that precede big, rich and full flavors that display admirable detail and cut on the powerful finish. This is a really promising effort that knocks on the door of grand cru quality."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
2005 in Burgundy is a legendary vintage from a near-ideal, dry growing season; both reds and whites are concentrated, structured and superbly balanced, with dense tannins and exceptional long-term aging potential.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
