Description

“Once again the wood influence is present though not intrusive on the toasty and spicy nose of citrus rind, green fruit, phenolic and plenty of classic Chablis elements. There is impressive volume to the super-sleek and notably powerful, even muscular, larger-scaled flavors that culminate in a markedly dry but only moderately austere finale. This too possesses fine development potential. 92” Burghound “Just one demi-muid, from purchased fruit. Mid yellow in colour, with the oak evident in the bouquet, but that can work with the Valmur style. It doesn’t take long for the fruit to rise up on the nose. The same juxtaposition between oak and creamy white fruit appears on the palate. This will settle down but best to wait for that to happen. 90-93” Jasper Morris MW “The tiniest parcel of grand cru here, just 0.18 ha – also right at the top near their parcel of Les Clos. Two barrels but stainless-steel barrels. Less coloured. This nose is smaller but more incisive. Clearly more direct and intense – the most of these GCs so far. Quite linear finishing flavour that’s juicy but also overtly mineral – widening too with a chalky impression. That’s a great wine – a hint strict finishing so you should wait – I’d wait until this evening !!” The Burgundy Report
