Extra rich, ripe and round , this offers a full fruitiness that explodes in the mouth. Tannins and structure are all there, although the main thrust of this wine is the balance between this tension and the generous fruits that are developing. Drink from 2019.

Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Brouilland. The 2013 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur has a very composed and delineated, captivating bouquet, light honeyed tones giving away to more convincing mineral/limestone aromas. The palate does not quite deliver the same pedigree as the nose: perhaps not quite as deep or as complex as I was anticipating. However, it does deliver a very satisfying sense of energy and focus and there is appealing salinity on the aftertaste. Tasted May 2016. - Neal Martin

An opulently ripe but not really exotic nose offers up attractive green fruit, white peach and again smoky notes that are trimmed in enough sulfur to notice. This is impressively powerful and particularly so for such young vines as there is an abundance of dry extract that buffers the moderately firm acid spine on the strikingly long and well-balanced finish. This is a big Valmur that isn’t particularly refined but it is certainly imposing. 2019+
