Brocard 2020 Chablis "Vau de Vey" 1er Cru 750ml

The 2020 Chablis Vau de Vey 1er Cru has an attractive bouquet with wild peach, light quince and flinty aromas, quite complex though I would not describe it as "intense". The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, harmonious, quite sappy towards the finish with decent length. Perhaps like the Butteaux, I would have liked a little more tension on the finish, but it should still give 8-10 years' drinking pleasure. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis.
