"An unusual left-bank premier cru in that, despite facing south/southwest, Vosgros is generally a slower maturing climat. This is largely down to the limestone-rich soils, giving the wine a certain edginess when young. There is plenty of energy here, with pure, stone fruit flavours, a hint of some exotic fruits on the nose, yet all of this is balanced by very precise acidity and a mineral finish. Very complex and classy"

Ripe but nicely airy aromas include those of citrus confit, quinine and white-fleshed fruit along with a hint of algae. The exceptionally rich and vaguely sweet medium-bodied flavors possess good vibrancy while the finish flashes enough salinity to buffer the sweetness. This isn’t my style but it’s well-made. Drink from 2024+"
Céline and Frédéric Gueguen have great pedigree in Chablis. Celine’s father is the famous Chablisien Jean Marc Brocard and she worked at the family estate for 15 years. Frederic was winemaker at Durup and then Brocard. In 2013, Celine and Frederic decided to go it alone and create their own domaine. With the support of several longstanding local families, they now manage 23 hectares of vines in the villages of Chablis, Chichée, la Chapelle Vaupelteigne, Saint-Bris and Irancy. We are very impressed with their wines.

Frédéric Gueguen describes the 2020 vintage as one that “produced wines that possess more fat and roundness than their 2019 counterparts along with excellent richness. We picked from the 27th of August and it was surreal as we’ve never picked in August before! There was a big difference though in our yields between whites and reds as the former averaged right around 50 hl/ha whereas the latter came in between 24 and 30 hl/ha. Potential alcohols reflected these volume differences as they were a very reasonable 12.5 to 13% in white though much higher at between 13.8 and 14% in red. Overall, the 2020s have a certain tenderness and charm that should make them good early drinkers yet there’s no reason that they shouldn’t also repay mid-term cellaring.” Fans of the domaine will note that Gueguen has expanded the range considerably in 2020 with the addition of several négociant wines. He also noted that now all of the fermentations are done with indigenous yeasts and that all the wines are now bottled using composite corks.
