Existing since 1429, the current «Vaudésir» climate takes its name from the Vau Daisey vine, also spelled «Valdaisay». In Old French, «Hait» refers to a desire. Thus «Vau des haits» became «Vaudésir» in 1770, the Valley of Desires.

A golden yellow colour with slightly golden silvery reflections.
The nose is expressive, with peach, fresh plum, a few aniseed notes and mineral nuances such as wet stone.
On the palate, a magnificent precise freshness, straight, with a beautiful finesse, accompanied by a delicate volume. A salivating finish with iodine notes that accompany this very long finish.
A lobster with a delicate iodine taste accompanied by an absinthe and blackcurrant broth to complete the complex aromatic palette. Or a Saint-Pierre just seared with a vervain broth slightly lemony.
