Note di degustazione
Cool and precise, the 2004 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur is a youthful classic, offering up pretty much everything one could want in a 13-year-old Valmur. Opening in the decanter with a nose of green apple, iodine, oyster shell and a touch of smoky reduction, on the palate the wine is full-bodied, three-dimensional and rock solid at the core, with excellent concentration and cut and a long, penetrating finish.

Pale yellow. Reticent, pure nose offers stone fruits, nutmeg and minerals. Then tightly wound and sharply delineated, with classic citrus character. Very 2004 in its rawness and austerity. But this very dry, backward, minerally wine boasts plenty of underlying density of material and should be long-lived.
This is a much different and classically styled with an ultra pure nose of ripe but austere green fruit brimming with oyster shell and seawater notes that introduce elegant, pure and sweet flavors all wrapped in a beautifully balanced and wonderfully detailed finish that also displays some austerity. This is built on a base of pungent minerality and will require ample time to come around. A Chablis lovers Chablis.
Pale green. Classic aromas of wet stone, gunflint, grapefruit and pepper. Fat and broad on the palate but youthfully unforthcoming. Larger-scaled and more horizontal than the Blanchots but much less expressive today. flavor dominated by wet stone. Finishes very long and uncompromisingly dry.
