Chablis Valmur, Grand Cru 2013

Here too the nose is trimmed in just enough wood to notice though it does not interfere with the clear appreciation of the fresh, cool and restrained aromas of green fruit, lemon peel and a plenitude of Chablis character. Like the Bougros this is a big-bodied wine with ample size, weight and mid-palate density as the abundant dry extract imparts a suave and opulent mouth feel before culminating in an impressively rich and persistent finish. There is a touch of youthful austerity that I suspect will quickly pass and overall, this should come together slightly sooner than the Vaudésir. Don't miss!

Score: 92 - 94
