This is a blend of five terroirs across the steep Vaillons premier cru (out of a possible total of eight). Blending gives Benoît the chance to introduce freshness, with higher acid fruit running through the riper parcels. The 2024 is typically floral, as great Vaillons tends to be. It’s an elegant wine with classical balance. Around 30% was fermented and aged in old oak, and though it’s hugely appealing right from the get-go, this should age beautifully as well.

30% oak in the blend. A little more yellow in the colour, and a softer more opulent yellow fruit on the nose. Power up front, lighter behind, with lemon notes to finish. Drink from 2027-2030. Tasted Jun 2025.
The 2024 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has a comparatively strict and correct nose for this vineyard. It's stonier than I expected. The palate is more generous with hints of fresh apricot and peach. This is well balanced, pretty and quite persistent. Give it 18 months in bottle for the aromatics to open up.
