| Tasting note |
The Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons 2015 is a pure and focussed wine. The nose has delicate notes of white flowers and fruit. With the 2015 vintage, the wine shows riper fruit than usual with notes closer to apricot or peach rather than citrus while keeping its usual Chablis fresh mineral backbone. The mouth is elegant, well-balanced with an intense finish and lingering minerality.

91 points, Tom Cannavan, Wine-pages.com, Dec. 2017'...This has some classic flint and green-flecked, mineral notes, with a ripe, smooth orchard fruit quality beneath. On the palate that searingly dry mineral and lemon pith core drives through, but there's a hint of fat about the texture of this too, and the fruit, which is quite juicy and almost peachy, before the strict core of acidity reasserts.' |
