The 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is characteristically charming, wafting from the glass with notes of pear, orange oil, white flowers and peach. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, it displays fine depth at the core and racy balancing acids, concluding with a long and expressive finish. This has turned out very well.

Bright pale colour, with a nose which has a buttery overlay without disturbing the quintessential Chablis beneath. Excellent depth and weight of fruit, the back half of the wine in no way compromised by the sunshine. Pure white fruit, not quite as dry as sometimes but far from denatured.
