With perhaps one of the most evocative names of all the Grand Crus, Vaudésir has the reputation of being the fleshiest of his grand cru sites. But banish any thought of fat for this is still Chablis from one of the top sites in the appellation, which means power, tension, and poise. Benoîts farms 1 hectare of vines in Vaudésir that benefit from being planted at the crest of the hill, so his vines enjoy either full southern or northern exposure. This results in a wine that is both rich and ethereal, perfumed and elegant. It is aged, part in tank and part in barrel with a small proportion of new wood.
