96pts Jasper Morris

60% has been made in tank and 40% in barrel. I am very happy with this nose. The sunshine and volume of the vintage looks like it suits Valmur. An excellent volume of white fruit and flesh, a dusting of ripe citrus zest, a structure more typical of Cote d’Or, the oak fully integrated and proper persistence. Barrel Sample: 92-96

93pts James Suckling

Crushed seashells, brine, lemons, minerals and a touch of blossoms on the nose. Medium-bodied with good intensity and a long, chalky finish of salinity and white fruit.

The 2023 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru is finishing its final blend in the tank for bottling next spring. This has more spiciness compared to the Blanchot, hints of stem ginger emerge with time. The palate is tensile on the entry, quite rich but fresh, waxy in terms of texture towards the pithy finish. This is promising.
Barrel Sample: 91-93

93pts Wine Spectator

Shaded by oak spice, this broad white evokes lemon, apple, honeysuckle and salty mineral, all delineated by lively acidity. Fades briefly before returning with echoes of fruit and flowers on the finish.

Winemaker Notes

This hot climate, predominantly made of clays, produces a full-bodied powerful wine, with amazing fruit flavors.

Pairs perfectly with scallops, lobster, fine fish, white meat, cheeses.
