Vintage Wine Name Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2019 Vintage 2019 Wine Description Vaillons takes its name from the Latin “vallis,” which means little valley. This flagship premier cru was one of the first to be classified on the left bank of the Serein River. The vineyard benefits from morning sun and shallow but sticky clay topsoil with compacted limestone slabs below. The result is grapes that ripen early and finished wine with intensity, tension and mouthwatering minerality. Region Bourgogne Appellation Chablis 1er Cru AOC Varietal Composition 100% Chardonnay Vineyard Details Left bank of Serein River with southeast exposure and elevation of 190-248 meters high. Soil is Kimmeridgian with deposits of compacted limestone slabs under thin clay topsoil. Vine age is 30 years average. Tasting notes Expressive citrus and stone fruit with subtle almond aromas lead to a full-bodied, fresh, fruity palate with classic chalk and mineral character that lingers. Pairing notes Enjoy this wine on its own or paired with seafood, poultry, ham and vegetable-forward dishes; complements fried and spiced foods. Alcohol % 12.5 Aging 16 months on fine lees in 70% stainless-steel tanks and 30% in a mix of 228 and 400 liter oak barrels (up to 50% new oak) SRP 70 Highest Score 92 Vinous Highest Score Review Copy Citrus, black currant leaf and touches of chamomile… good energy and focus. The palate is clean, fresh and saline in the mouth, delivering good concentration and a slightly nutty, fume finish that lingers. Plenty of personality and should age well in bottle. Acclaim - 92 Vinous
- 90-92 Burghound
