Description
Beautiful pale gold colour with glints of green. Elegant and fine nose revealing hawthorn aromas. A fresh, pleasant and perfumed mouth typical of its appellation. A beautiful wine.
This Chablis Vaillons wine has received good scores from various critics.
Critic tasting note: (2018 vintage) "This wine's intriguing nose combines rich candlewax with bright lemon oil. The palate is rounded and smooth, with buffered freshness on the midpalate. It is here that the sense of chalky depth comes in, conveying a stony, austere hinterland for which 2018's generous fruit is mere window dressing. With its depth, the wine expresses the vintage beautifully. Drink by 2040. Anne Krebiehl MW" - 94/100, Wine Enthusiast
