Pretty aromas of honeyed citrus and beeswax introduce the 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Vau de Ligneau, a medium to full-bodied, satiny-textured wine with a fleshy core of fruit underpinned by tangy acids and chalky structuring extract.

The 2015 Chablis 1er Cru Vau de Ligneau comes from 40-year-old vines matured in stainless steel for 18 months. It has a light, chalk and flint-scented bouquet that is tightly wound but nicely focused. The palate is fresh on the entry, with mango and guava notes, good acidity and a pleasing, waxy-textured finish that lingers in the mouth. Enjoy this Chablis over the next four to five years.

The 2014 Chablis 1er Cru Vau de Ligneau comes from 40-year-old vines and sees 18 months in stainless steel. It has attractive apple blossom and limestone scents on the nose, pretty and quite refined. The palate is saline on the entry with a fine bead of acidity, good weight in the mouth, with bruised apple and fresh pear on the quite tensile finish. This is a fine Chablis from Louis Moreau that will give several years' drinking pleasure.

The 2013 Chablis 1er Cru Vau de Ligneau, aged for 18 months in stainless steel with six months on the fine lees, has a crisp, chalky bouquet that offers moderate intensity - conservative but appealing all the same. The palate is citrus fresh on the entry with good acidity, a little pinched toward the finish but with a pleasant saline aftertaste. Drink this over the next five years.
