VERY LIMITED!

leni et Edouard Vocoret always had this 0.9 hectares vineyard however only bottled under their own Domaine in 2017.

Far more white clay than the other plots between the 1er Cru hills of Vaillons and Le Foret - good mix, very mineral. 40 years old vines. Wild Fermented in steel then Elevage in barrel for 12 months of 6 to 30 year old barriques.

“The 2020 Chablis Boucheran, from vines located between Montmains and Vaillons, has a refined bouquet of lovely yellow flower, chamomile and light earthy scents. The palate is well balanced with a lilting opening and passion fruit and pineapple flavours. Refined and open towards the finish. Drink this early – you will not be disappointed.”
Neil Martin, Vinous (June 2021). (89-91) Drinking window: 2022-2028.

“Heavy clay soils which they have got back into shape, less compacted. Chiselled but with weight. White fruit and pear aromas. Clean tingling finish, slightly richer at the back, long for a village.”
Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy (June 2021). (88-90)

The Estate:

Edouard and his wife Eleni have Chablis running through their veins. Domaine Vocoret is a well established large estate, which when entering Chablis town from the North is impossible to miss. Edouard and Eleni wanted to start their own Domaine and in 2013 purchased 5 hectares from their Father & Grandfather. Eleni had been working for some time for Vincent Dauvissat and spent time in the early years mentoring them as they established their Domaine.

Back in 2015 when I first visited the Domaine to review their inuargual 2014 vintage Edouard was keen to tell me after working at his father's Domaine for some years he had earmarked the spots he wanted, particularly the ‘Le Bas de Chapelot’ Lieu Dit which sits just under Montee de Tonnerre. Wine making  is consistent across all three wines. Wines are wild fermented in tank then elevage takes place in seasoned barrels for 12 months.
