Domaine Thierry Laffay Chablis Grand Cru ‘Vaudesir’ 2020
$221
Description
The Laffay’s own 26 ares in the Grand Cru Vaudésir. Vaudésir is one of the seven Chablis Grand Cru appellations. Nestled in a natural amphitheater, it covers 15.4 hectares. It benefits from a double exposure similar to that of Valmur. The south-facing slope, which lies in a small sheltered valley, provides optimal ripening conditions. The north-facing slope, however, is cooler and the grapes often mature later. Vaudésir contains a significant amount of clay. The subsoil remains classic, however, with Kimmeridgian marly limestone.
A note on the 2021’s: The 2021 Laffay’s are a blast from the classically styled Chablis of the 1970’s with lower alcohols, cutting acidity with wonderful transparency, complexed by balanced & intriguing funky reduction. Tank fermented & aged with the exception of the Grand Cru Vaudésir. They have excellent development with freshness, no puppy fat. Some wise winemaking clearly at play. These make for a great comparison with the richer 2020’s. A matter of celebrating the differences between the two years, & enjoying two styles with the same overarching philosophy of making grape-first wines of energy & personality.
