Tasting Note

Valmur is a very powerful, imposing "climat" with a lot of minerality. This confers on the wine an austerity and a sense of reserve that are the signature of the great wines of Chablis. Yellow and white fleshed fruits like peach and apricot are revealed. In sunny years, these notes develop towards concentrated fruits "confits" and quince. In cool years, the floral notes such as hawthorn offer the wine of this "climat" all its distinctiveness. It is a great wine for keeping and it generally needs more than 10 years for the wine to decompress and reveal all its substance.

Product Notes

Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis Grand Cru Valmur is a white wine that hails from the Chablis region of France. This wine is produced by Jean-Paul and Benoit Droin, a father and son team of winemakers who have been producing wine for over 400 years. Their expertise is evident in every bottle of this Grand Cru Valmur, which is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes that are grown in the vineyards of Valmur. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, which imparts a creamy texture and complex flavors of citrus, ripe pear, and vanilla. This wine is ideal for pairing with seafood, risotto, or creamy pasta dishes.
