"(92-94) out of 100...Perhaps the freshest of any of these grand crus to this point, which is interesting as Vaudesir tends to always be one of the very ripest of the GCs given how the configuration of the vineyards collects heat. While the nose is certainly ripe, it is also airy and elegant with floral, spice and orchard fruit aromas complementing the quinine and citrus notes that can also be found on the powerful, muscular and borderline robust flavors that somehow manage to remain refined and deliver the considerable dry extract with grace on the explosive finish. This is generous on the mid-palate but it's almost breathtaking as to how fast the finish tightens up. Impressive." - Burghound
"(90-91+) out of 100...The Fevre 2006 Chablis Vaudesir projects lemon and herbs along with a strikingly saline, chicken stock-like character such as only Chablis from among the world's wines can display. Despite its impressive amplitude and high but flattering fat content, this isn't expressing overtly ripe or tropical fruits, but instead hammers home the messages of meat and minerals, along with an equally unexpected severity of bright citrus in the finish. Is this impressively concentrated and intriguingly mysterious wine just in an awkward stage, I wonder?" - WA
"91(+?) out of 100...Pale, green-tinged color. Locked up on the nose today, hinting at powdered stone and lime. Then dense, ripe and quite dry, inexpressive today but with strong fruit lurking. Sweeter on the back end and nicely broad, pliant and long. This needs patience." - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
