Brocard 2020 Chablis "Vaulorent" 1er Cru 750ml

Firm reduction flattens the fruit at present. More interesting are the sappy and beautifully punchy flavors that possess excellent cut that is confirmed by the chiseled, austere and compact finish. This is very backward and a bit awkward, but the underlying potential appears to be quite clear. Very promising.
