Description
Chablis Premier Cru Vaucoupin 2024 from Baudouin Millet is a distinguished expression of Chardonnay from one of Chablis’ most respected Premier Cru climats, located on the right bank of the Serein. The steep slopes and Kimmeridgian limestone soils of Vaucoupin contribute to wines of intensity, structure, and marked minerality.
The 2024 vintage reveals a precise and layered aromatic profile, with notes of lemon zest, grapefruit, and crisp green apple, complemented by hints of white peach and delicate floral nuances. A pronounced flinty character underscores the wine’s origin. On the palate, it is both concentrated and elegant, with a vibrant acidity that provides energy and length. The texture is structured yet refined, supported by a strong mineral backbone that leads to a long, clean, and saline finish.
Baudouin Millet, a family estate rooted in Chablis, is known for producing wines that faithfully reflect their terroir. Through careful vineyard management and a restrained approach in the cellar, the estate preserves the purity and tension that define great Chablis.
This Premier Cru pairs beautifully with oysters, scallops, grilled fish, or creamy poultry dishes. While already impressive in its youth, Vaucoupin 2024 also has excellent ageing potential, developing further complexity and depth over time.
