Loads of spices, linden, and white peaches explode from the glass of the 2002 Chablis Vaillons. This satin-textured, medium-bodied effort is crammed with flint, stones, pears, and spice. Rich, complex, and long in the finish, it s a candidate for drinking over the next 5-6 years.
According to Vincent Dauvissat, an engaging, extremely bright vigneron, “After a slight push of mildew in the summer, 2002 was exceptional, everything went well, leading to what will be a memorable vintage, maybe like the 1975s, with great balance and that are always ready to give pleasure, from youth to old age.” Dauvissat began harvesting on the 23rd of September and only chaptalized (by only 2/10's of a degree) two of his many cuvees.
