2019 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

2019 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur, Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

The Valmur displays its calibre in its depth of fruit and precision. There are extra layers of floral precision here, and formidable drive on the finish. It has a wonderful length, and will reward those who are patient as its finely balanced elements evolve over the years.

Tasting notes

There is just enough reduction present to push the green fruit and vaguely exotic aromas to the background so be sure to give this a thorough aeration if you're going to try a bottle young. Otherwise, there is excellent density to the dense if slightly rustic big-bodied flavors that display noticeable warmth on the solidly persistent finish. This is an imposing and powerful Valmur where the balance isn't quite as well dialed in as the best in the range.
