Chablis, Burgundy, FranceFrom 30 year old left bank vines, biodynamically farmed since the 1990s, this Vaillons sings of typicity. Fermentation and aging in stainless for 8 months only preserves the crispness of the Premier Cru fruit. Creamy perfumed pear is livened with lemon pith and green apple, seasoned with a lick of flint, and extended with a shimmery kimmeridgian buzz. The flinty salinity balances out the Drouhin polish smartly.Tasted: 03 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Chablis, Burgundy, FranceVaillons has always been an important premier cru that faces mostly east, lending it a fresher, tighter style that comes with substantial minerality and salinity. 2018 is all that and more, and it is fun to drink. The nose is a complex mix of salty ocean air with flecks of freshly shaved lemon peel. The palate is exquisitely balanced, pulling in the acidity at just the right time before persisting long into the night. Oysters, anyone?Tasted: 16 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:
