2017 Pattes Loup Vaillons

The 2017 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru is bright and nicely focused, with lovely floral and stone fruit character and mid-weight character. It is also the only wine in this range made from purchased fruit, and that makes a huge difference, as there is just a bit less depth here than is found in the other wines. Soft and understated, the 2017 will drink well with minimal cellaring.
