2018 Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis Valmur Grand Cru

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.

Other Reviews....
Fermented in just less than 40% oak, this is near Le Clos and moves in that richer, denser and weightier direction. All ripe, yellow fruit here. The texture is very fleshy but rich and quite dense with peaches and apple pie. Drink on release or hold.

A background dollop of wood surrounds pungent aromas of mineral reduction, petrol and green fruit. The spicy flavors don't possess quite the same mid-palate concentration though there is still plenty of punch and muscle on the sneaky long and nicely complex finale.

The 2018 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru is another stunning wine in this range that captures the essence of the vintage beautifully. A wine of breadth, richness and volume, the 2018 is flat-out stunning. Apricot, dried flowers, savory herbs and light tropical overtones build as the Valmur blossoms in the glass. Silky contours and veins of supporting minerality frame the long, persistent finish. One of thee highlights in this range, the 2018 Valmur is simply captivating.
