Hachette
“The 2009 Chablis Vaudésir has a less mineral character than the other wines, but it makes up for this with its generous, warm fruit aromas and a radiant profile. It’s an excellent bottle to drink in the short term, though I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that it could age very well given the freshness of its finish. ” (Wine Advocate 2011 - Robert Parker). Vaudésir is a Chablis Grand Cru “built like a Romanesque cathedral,” according to the estate...

Guide Hachette des vins
Wine noted (guide 2013) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About the wine:
To offer you the crystalline, ethereal character of Chablis: that is the goal of Bernard Billaud, who ages his wine in tanks. He has achieved this with this harmonious, balanced, and delicious Vaudésir Grand Cru. Its intense nose of ripe fruit and white flowers is an invitation to taste. The palate is silky with a buttery base underscored by a hint of minerality that lends it length. This highly successful wine pairs wonderfully with fish in sauce.

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
The 2009 Chablis Vaudésir has a less mineral character than the other wines, but it more than makes up for it with its generous, warm fruit aromas and a radiant profile. It’s an excellent bottle to drink now, though I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that it could age very well, given the freshness of its finish.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2022 guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)
About the estate:
This family-owned estate, established in Chablis since 1815, changed hands in 2014, becoming part of the Faiveley estate. This expanded Faiveley’s portfolio, which already included 20 hectares of Chablis’s finest terroirs, featuring four grands crus: Les Clos, Les Preuses, Vaudésir, and Les Blanchots; four premiers crus: Montée de Tonnerre, Mont-de-Milieu, Fourchaume, and Vaillons, as well as Chablis and Petit Chablis. Olivier Bailly was appointed estate manager in 2014 and quickly refined the winemaking process. Starting in 2016, the return to top quality became evident, and this estate is now one of the most reliable in Chablis.
