Domaine Gerard Duplessis Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2019
Domaine Gérard Duplessis is a family run cellar founded in 1895, today managed by Lilian Duplessis. Located in the heart of the Chablis’s region it has 8 ha of vines divided into about twenty plots, each with its own character, vines installed, for some, for 75 years, and constant attention, organic viticulture requires. Grand Cru Les Clos, Premiers Crus Vaugiraut, Mont-de-Milieu, Fourchaume, Montée-de-Tonnerre, Montmains and Vaillons: so many localities with names well known to Chablis lovers, and honored on their Estate.
Domaine Gerard Duplessis Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is blend of four plots facing south-east on clay-sandy soil. This seducer can be kept for three to ten years. Its "exotic" nose and its wide and fruity mouth will take you by the feelings.
The 2019 Vaillons is currently enjoying its passage in the wood. Clear pale and bright. This is very classical, and has not picked up the wood until perhaps filling out the finish, though it hasn’t become too fleshy. Gives extra structure and length when well handled, as this is. – Jasper Morris, MW
