The wine region of Chablis Grand Cru 'Valmur'

Central Grand Cru on the Chablis hillside in a narrow valley cut by the Chemin Sainte Vaubourg: 100% Chardonnay on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone and oyster-fossil marl. Signature duality — south-east-facing slopes for richness, north-west-facing slopes for freshness. Steely and powerful whites with white fruits, citrus, flowers and saline notes, deep and taut minerality. Dense, long palate, vertical structure, cellaring potential of 15–25 years.


The wine region of Burgundy

Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.

The word of the wine: Assembly

Blending of several wines to obtain a single batch. Using wines of the same origin, blending is very different from coupage - a mixture of wines from different origins - which has a pejorative connotation.
