Domaine Herve Azo Chablis 1er Cru Vau de Vey 2019

Despite achieving Chablis Premier Cru status in the late 1970s, the “Vau de Vey” vineyard—situated in a slender, snaking valley—was given mention as far back as 1537, due to constant flooding by a neighboring stream. The name has been traced to a Latin word, ‘vadum,’ meaning a shallow crossing or ford, but the most distinguishing characteristic of Vau de Vey is its steepness. Along with its staggering 52% slope, the site benefits from a southeast exposure, which provides ample ripening in a valley that can produce colder temperatures than most surrounding areas. All this is a natural formula for a wine that showcases power and substance, and if you didn’t know Vau de Vey before, you won’t forget it after trying this version from Hervé Azo. Originally from Brittany, Azo was working in Paris when he made an impulse decision in the early 1970s to work harvest in Chablis. After experiencing the place and its wonderful wines, Hervé said au revoir to Paris and settled in. As the years passed, he purchased land piece by piece, the majority being Premier Cru sites. With his daughters pursuing other passions, Azo handed the domaine over to Jean-Marc Brocard, a prominent producer with familial ties that run deep Chablis. Thankfully, the Brocards have left the style and practices of Hervé Azo largely untouched, and, just like Krug with LVMH, the label has remained its own separate entity.
