Anyone familiar with Philibert Ducard (specifically Vaudesir Chablis)

WINE TALK

Hi all, question for the group. I live in the NE and there are a few Wegmans in my area. At least two have 1-2 magnums of 2009 Philbert Ducard Chablis Premier Cru Vaudesir for $110. They are kept in the special little walk-in high end space that is chilled. That is an intruiging price for the juice. But there are two problems. 1) I have never heard of this producer, and there is basically no trace of him online. 2) it is improperly labeled, as Vaudesir is a Grand Cru. Somehow, Wegmans got their hands on a bunch of these.

Anyone know anything about the wine or have guesses about what is going on here?

Just to add, the improper labelling is on the signage, NOT on the bottle. The bottle simply says the Vineyard name, which is common enough for Grand Cru vineyard chablis.

@Seth_Low did you take a shot on these? I rarely go to my Wegmans liquor store but was there today and saw about 6-8 bottles in a display.

I did not. Older bottle, with the lack of info, I wasnt compelled.
