The 2013 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur has an extremely well defined bouquet with what feels like more precision than the Blanchots. Here, there is a touch of generosity with almond and even a very slight creme brûlée scent. The palate is very well balanced, more vivacious and charming than the curmudgeonly Blanchots with a sensual, caressing and lightly spiced finish that is just very...Valmur. This is superb. - Neal Martin

This is aromatically less elegant but more complex with its pretty array of spicy white and slightly exotic orchard fruit scents that display ample Chablis character. The intense middle weight plus flavors possess good volume as well as excellent richness on the opulent and mouth coating finish that somehow manages to retain a sense of refinement, indeed this could accurately be described as combining power with finesse. Note that while this will certainly be capable of reward mid-term cellaring it will also drink well early on if desired.
