The texture is creamy and rich, but the wine is not lacking freshness; the extract carries the wine to a lovely lingering finish. The grapes are from 4.82ha spread over five lieux-dits – Vaillons, Séchet, Beugnons, Roncières and Epinottes – lightly crushed and fermented in tank and in cask (25%). The warm microclimates and thin soils here deliver some of the ripest fruit on the left bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92pts Jasper Morris\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25% wood.

It is a very classical wine with notes of white flowers and sea air. A very sunny exposure and its valley sheltered from the north winds bring quite early maturity that allows it to be enjoyed from its earliest years. It does not have the habitual austerity of young Chablis wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, the wine loses its floral aspect in flavor of tertiary aromas of menthol and oyster shell. It can be matched with all types of sea produce but also with regional cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winebow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54339459350892,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/3053\/files\/jean-paul-beniot-droin-chablis-1er-cru-vaillons-2023-750ml-136799.jpg?v=1788995238","url":"https:\/\/redneckwinecompany.com\/products\/jean-paul-beniot-droin-chablis-1er-cru-vaillons-2023-750ml","provider":"Redneck Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
