This wine has inviting aromas of flint, peach and citrus. The palate is dry with richly textured mouth feel, with citrus, white peach and almond flavours. The finish is intense and long with a lingering minerality.

Gold medal - International Wine Challenge 2012‘Nose of apple chalk and ozone with scarcely believable levels of mineral intensity and concentration. Could only be top flight Chablis. Uniquely great.’ Richard Hemming, JancisRobinson.com, 16+ pointsBananas and cream, lime citrus, crunchy leafy hints. Concentrated and bright and satisfying. 4 Stars/Highliy Recommended/16.5 points, Decanter July 2012Elegant nose of brisk lime, white and yellow fruit and floral notes. Very good length and purity of flavour, all in balance. Pure with bright acidity. Shows total precision and still has all the Chablis fruit. 88 points, Burghound, Issue 48 Nov 2012(50% from Vaillons proper with a mix of other climats comprising the remainder). Notes of white pepper, citrus, wet stone and floral aromas introduce vibrant, clean and vibrant middle weight flavors that possess good detail and punch on the clean, linear and attractively dry finish. |
