The 2021 Vaulorent from Didier Séguier is equally fine. The nose is beautifully expressive, wafting from the glass in a blaze of pear, fresh lime, tart orange, a refined base of chalky minerality, anise, beeswax, straw and a topnote of lemon peel. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows off superb depth in the core, with fine soil signature and grip, vibrant acids and a long, focused and beautifully balanced finish. This could probably be drunk with great pleasure with only a couple of years’ worth of bottle age, but I would try to leave it alone in the cellar for at least three or four years and let it blossom completely. 2027-2060. ~94 John Gilman
