2019 Chablis, Le Bas de Chapelot, Domaine Eleni & Edouard Vocoret, Burgundy

Description

This, the domaine’s biggest holding, is well-sited beneath Chapelot Premier Cru. In simple terms, it combines the breadth of Boucheran and the precision of Pargues. It’s wonderfully concentrated, with plenty of lemon zest and a tangy, saline finish. It’ll gain more weight with time in bottle or, indeed, magnum – in which some of our allocation is bottled. Drink 2022-2030. 
Colour White

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 90-93/100
Very pale colour. Currently a sulphur addition is slightly killing the nose. I am not worried on that score as the wine on the palate is absolutely astounding. There is more fruit than the previous two, a lively greener touch, with exceptional weight right across the palate. Huge length. I am astonished by this as a straight Chablis!Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com, (November 2020)

About this wine

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.

Domaine Eleni et Edouard Vocoret

Edouard's family owns Domaine Vocoret & Fils, a well known and large Chablis domaine, with over 50 hectares planted including six Chablis premiers crus and renowned for its solid, tradionally-styled wines. Edouard and Eleni partnered while in New Zealand but returned to Chablis to run a small plot of 3.3 hectares in the family vineyard. They are currently producing two wines: Chablis "Bas de Chapelot" and Chablis 1er Cru "Butteaux." Bas de Chapelot comes from 3ha just beneath Montée de Tonnerre while the Butteaux parcel is 0.3ha. Vincent Dauvissat is a mentor and a source of inspiration for the Vocorets.
