SKU #1551304 92 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark The chalky notes are very fresh here and lead to lemon and grapefruit aromas with a super taut, composed and gently flinty palate that has good acidity punch. Inner quote mark (7/2019)

92 points Vinous

Outer quote mark The 2017 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru is super inviting. The interplay of richness and tension is intriguing. Lemon peel, white flowers and crushed rocks give the Vaillons terrific energy and cut. Lemon peel, white flowers and crushed rocks give the Vaillons an unusual amount of saline intensity. This taut, nervy wine is very nicely done. (AG) Inner quote mark (1/2020)

90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark Aromas of white flowers, smoky peach, green apple and lime zest preface the 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and expansive wine that's elegantly lively and charmingly open-knit. This will be one of the more immediate premiers crus from La Chablisienne. (WK) Inner quote mark (8/2019)

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Chardonnay

- It's hard to believe that up until about 30 years ago, this extremely popular varietal hid behind the veil of geographical names like Chablis and Puligny-Montrachet. Now grown all over the world and bottled by its varietal name, Chardonnay has achieved a level of branding unlike any other wine. Surprisingly, though, what you get when you buy Chardonnay can differ greatly from country to country and even within one country, depending on the climate where it's grown and how it is vinified and aged. From fresh, crisp and minerally with apple and lemon notes to rich and buttery with tropical fruit overtones, Chardonnay runs the gamut. In France's Burgundy, Chardonnay is the source of the prized wines of Chablis, Corton-Charlemagne, Mâcon, Meursault and Montrachet. It also the foundation of exceptional Champagne, where it is blended with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier or vinified on its own into Blanc de Blancs. It is also extremely popular in California, and is gaining popularity in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain and South Africa.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Chablis

- The region north of the Cote d'Or, famous for its steely dry white wines made from Chardonnay. There are 7 Grands Crus vineyards, and numerous Premier Crus. Unfortunately, the name has been borrowed and badly abused by producers of inferior white wines in the US as well as in Australia. True French Chablis is a delicate, stony, crisp Chardonnay, bearing no resemblance to the anonymous plonk so labeled here.
