Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the Burgfest annual tasting, Droin's 2014 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur, which was bottled under DIAM 10, initially showed a touch of dilution on the nose compared to its peers but it seems to gain weight and cohesion in the glass. There is just a touch of reduction dampening things down. The palate is fresh on the entry with a crisp, saline attack, spicy and more Les Preuses in style, displaying great weight and persistence on the finish. This is a flavor-packed Valmur.

(began in 40% oak): Bright, pale yellow. Ripe stone fruits and sweet oak on the nose. Wonderfully rich and pliant in the mouth, showing more volume as well as more oakiness than the Vaudésir but less inner-mouth tension and nuance. This will be a real peach bomb--but perhaps more Chardonnay and less classic Chablis than the Vaudésir. A touch phenolic on the aftertaste. Droin had old vines here until 2008 but he's now doing a lot of replanting and the average age of the vines is now only about ten years.
