Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons

The estate’s 0.20-hectare left-bank parcel sits at the top of the slope in Les Chatains. Its soils are less Kimmeridgian and more Portlandian. Vinification takes place in tank and maturation in old barrels. The white wine is fruity, round and charming. Oak is used for density and micro-oxidation rather than wood flavour, and the estate harvests all of its vineyards by hand.

Pale yellow-gold colour with green reflections accompanies flowers, peach, pear and melon. The Chardonnay is elegant and fresh. White citrus, crushed stone, saline lift and a silken texture add further character. Cool fermentation and a short period on lees are used for this Premier Cru wine from Chablis. The wine comes from the Vaillons Premier Cru vineyard.
