The Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir comes from one of Chablis' seven Grand Cru vineyards and is regarded as one of the appellation's most prestigious sites. Its spectacular amphitheatre-shaped hillside is unique in Burgundy. The vineyard enjoys a rare double exposure: due south on the northern side and south-west on the southern section, ensuring slow and even ripening. The name derives from the historic "Chemin des Vaudésirs", which divides the vineyard.

Nose: Fresh aromas of white flowers and citrus fruit, complemented by delicate coriander spice.
