Note di degustazione
The 2014 Chablis 1Er Cru Vaillons has a tightly wound bouquet that gradually opens in the glass, hints of lime flower and a touch of white peach. The palate is well balanced with a crisp opening, slate-like texture with good acidity, perhaps not quite as tensile on the finish as some other Vaillons that I have tasted from this vintage. But it does have fine salinity lingering on the aftertaste.

Pale yellow, a bit deeper than the Montmains. Fruit-driven aromas of ripe grapefruit and fresh pineapple. Sweet and rich on the palate; rounder than the Montmains but also nicely saline and minerally. Finishes almost austere, with lovely grip, verve and length. A very serious Vaillons. "This wine gets more minerally with time in bottle," notes Seguier, "like Vaudésir."

Pale, green-tinged yellow. Smells riper than the Montmains but also displays pungently fresh iodiney minerality. Densely packed and sweet, with youthful grapefruit and pineapple flavors dominated on the back end by the strong iodiney minerality. Very firm but not austere, this superb premier cru saturates the mouth without leaving any impression of excess weight. Built to age.
