2023 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur, William Fèvre

2023 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur, William Fèvre

Valmur lies just above Les Clos, and the William Fèvre parcel sits right atop the crest of the hill, benefitting from a cool microclimate. This 2023 has a wonderful purity to it: crystalised ginger dances across the palate. It is long, persistent, and very fine indeed. Give it a little time, and see it soar.

Tasting notes

Recently racked so a bit cloudy. Blocks the nose. A vast raft of white fruit, very spicy, liquorice notes as well, a volume of fruit over and above the Vaudésir, I can see why it is served afterwards. Quality reduction at the back, Drink from 2029-2038. Tasted Jun 2024.

Jasper Morris (December 2024)
93—95/100

The 2023 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru comes from the top sector on the incline with a south-east facing orientation on a vein of marl. That scent of shucked oyster shell permeates the nose and puts it above Vaudésir in terms of complexity. A superb reduction. The palate is taut and fresh, more complex and certainly more saline. There's a bit of meanness on the finish, but that is not written pejoratively. For those seeking more traditional Chablis this vintage.
