Bright pale gold. The nose is rich and refined, with ripe orchard fruit, citrus and a stony, mineral edge. The palate shows excellent texture and liveliness, with depth of fruit balanced by vibrant acidity and a long, persistent finish.

About this wine

Valmur is one of the Grand Cru climats of Chablis, and this bottling comes from the Droin family, who have been making wine in the appellation for almost 400 years. Now in its fourteenth generation, the estate farms around 13 hectares in northern Burgundy and produces 14 wines. The vines here are about 15 years old, planted on Kimmeridgian limestone that shapes the wine's mineral style.

The grapes are pressed pneumatically and the juice settles naturally before fermenting with native yeasts, about 35% in oak and the rest in stainless steel. Malolactic fermentation is systematic, followed by 8 to 10 months of ageing. The wine needs more than ten years to reach its full potential.
