Domaine Jean-Paul et Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2015 :

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Neil Martin, août 2017) : 88?/100. The 2015 Chablis 1Er Cru Vaillons has a refined bouquet with scents of apple blossom and dried quince, although I would have liked more vigor here—it feels a little static, which is not what Vaillons should be. Maybe it is entering a dumb phase? The palate is simple, far simpler than the nascent 2016 by comparison and it is missing the joie de vivre and depth one seeks on the finish. Benoît commented that this cuvée is beginning to close down so perhaps it will reopen after four or five years. I have put a cautionary question mark against my conservative score. Drink date 2018-2027.
