The 2011 Chablis Grand Cru Vaudesir has a backward, reticent bouquet--sultry and introspective at the moment, just a faint touch of sea spray emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, a hint of grilled almond and walnut coming through on the finish and a dash of white pepper lingering on the aftertaste. It needs a little cohesion, but fingers crossed that will come with further bottle age.
