2017 Chablis Vaillons

The 2017 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru is a very pretty wine that can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring. Apricot, lemon confit, chamomile, mint and dried flowers all grace this attractive, inviting Chablis. Floral notes develop later, adding lift and brightness, while saline underpinnings lend a palpable sense of energy. This is such a terrific expression of Vaillon. The 2017 is all nuance.

The 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillon is showing well, unwinding in the glass with a pretty bouquet of fresh peach, citrus blossom, blanched almonds, smoke and fresh pastry. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and elegant, displaying promising tension and youthful reserve, concluding with a pure and precise finish.

There’s very attractive plushness here with expressive mangoes, apricots and peaches on the nose that chisel into the finish in linear, long and firm shape. Drink now.
