"A rare gem"
“The 2009 Chablis Vaudésir has a very pure bouquet with lovely notes of limestone and smoke emerging through layers of lime and grapefruit. The palate is well-balanced with a clean acidity, good depth, and a concentrated, resinous finish with hints of peach skin that lingers nicely on the palate.” (Wine Advocate)

Eye
Pale color with green highlights
Nose
This wine, which initially seemed austere, has really come into its own during aging on the lees. It is also one of the finest wines produced in 2009. The nose is slightly exotic and then develops aromas of white flowers.
Palate
Precise and with a very pronounced minerality
Serve
At 10-12°C

Food and wine pairings
Pair with seafood, andouillette sausage, Comté cheese, Burgundy-style parsley ham, or asparagus with smoked salmon
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide): 4 stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The Verget wine merchant is part of the Guffens-Heynen “trilogy,” where Jean-Marie Guffens, supported by his loyal right-hand man Julien Desplans, applies the time-tested methods he has used on his elite estate since the 1980s—methods that serve as a global benchmark for Chardonnay. The flagship here remains the Mâconnais, but purchases from the Chablis region are regular, and depending on the vintages, there are fine cuvées from the Côte de Beaune. Reserving en primeur is all the more advisable as it offers the opportunity to purchase “terroir-less” wines in screw-cap bottles, proof that terroir isn’t always the sole determinant of quality. Finally, it’s worth noting that this is the place to stock up on Guffens aux Tourettes and Verget du Sud, at unbeatable value-for-money prices, as reviewed in the Rhône Valley section of this guide. An exemplary destination.
