Domaine Christian Moreau Chablis Grand Cru Valmur 2004
Chablis, Burgundy, FranceFlinty, smoky, green apple, citrus, passion fruit, floral nose with a touch of butter and vanilla. Fresh, crisp, round and juicy on the palate with lots of finesse. Floral, waxy, lemon, grassy, green apple and mineral flavours with a fresh peach skin, buttery finish. Fine balance but young - should improve over the next 1-2 years. Just over half of Valmur is aged in stainless vats. Forty-five per cent is done in barrels (90% in 1, 2 and 3 years old barrels, 10% in new and 1 year old barrels) for a period of six months.Tasted: 21 November 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $59.99 | 750ml | specialty listing |
