Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Vaucoupin wine originates from one of the most respected wine producers within Chablis, France. This exceptional white wine boasts a masterful blend of minerality and ripe fruit created from the Chardonnay grape. Offering a bright and elegant bouquet with hints of lemon, apple, and delicate floral undertones, it enthralls the palate with perfect balance and a persistently long finish. With its well-structured acidity and distinctive flinty notes, the Droin Chablis Vaucoupin is an absolute delight to wine connoisseurs appreciative of a refined, yet impactful Chablis expression.

Tasting Notes

The shallow depth of soil allows the acidic structure to be expressed, with a wine that has a powerful first impact without being too full, developing great freshness throughout tasting. Minerality is strong, expressed already on the nose with notes of wet stones. In sunnier years, there are notes of citrus, both white and yellow fleshed fruit. Always a little secretive and reserved when young, Vaucoupin is a wine for keeping which fully expands at 10 years or more
