94 points La Revue du Vin de France: “Strong but not heavy, Vaillons draws its energy from its roots, and presents a fine exotic touch on the nose. (2022)”
92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): “The 2019 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has a very fragrant bouquet with yellow flowers flanking the sensual citrus and orange peel scents. Very harmonious. The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed texture on the entry. A fine bitter edge counters the richness that defines the finish. A slightly more opulent style from Dauvissat… but still Chablis. Drink: 2023-2038. (Sep 2020)”
93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): “The 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is one of the more expressive wines in the range at this early stage, wafting from the glass with notes of lime zest, crisp stone fruit, freshly baked bread and subtle hints of nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise, it’s a lively, penetrating wine that will offer a broad drinking window. The Vaillons comes from holdings where the soils are deeper than in Séchet, and that shows in greater textural plentitude. Drink: 2023-2049. (8/5/21)”
93 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com) (2023).
91+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “The Dauvissat family’s 2019 Vaillons is another very strong bottle in the making. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a complex blend of apple, pear, a touch of candied lemon peel, chalky minerality, a hint of straw, vanillin oak, beeswax and dried flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and bouncy, with a superb core of fruit, fine transparency and grip, good acids and fine complexity on the long, focused and vibrant finish. Fine juice. 2022-2050. (Jan/Feb 2022)”
91 points/’Outstanding,’ Allen Meadows (Burghound): “(from one-third Beugnons and two-thirds Châtains). A classic Chablis nose features notes of oyster shell, iodine and mineral reduction on the ripe but fresh white aromas of passion fruit and pear where a background whiff of phenolic character is discernible. The rich yet racy saliva-inducing medium weight flavors possess equally good length and balance. This firm effort will also need to add depth over the next 6 to 8 years. Drink: 2026+. (Oct 2021)”
