Less slatey annd earthy and more fruit driven on the nose. Nice breadth on the medium-bodied palate. Adequate but certainly not bracing acidity. Surprisingly approachable and quite good. Probably a near-term drinker, but an enjoyable one nonetheless. **

Nose of green and golden apples. Minerals and good ripeness. Viscous texture balanced by good acidity. **

9 ha. in three parcels. 10 year old vines. Ripe nose with hints of stones and clay. Very feminine. More showy {than Vosgros] with light- to medium-body. Delicious, but for earlier consumption. **

Jean-Paul Droin 2000 Chablis Premier Cru Vaucoupin

A powerful wine with excellent potential. It contains ripe fruits and a mineral core with a spicy palate and great length. A vin de garde. ***(*)
