This 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur from Bessin-Tremblay promises a vibrant and expressive profile. On the nose, expect intense minerality reminiscent of oyster shells, wet stones, and flint, characteristic of Chablis’ unique Kimmeridgian soils. This is beautifully interwoven with notes of crisp green apple, lemon zest, white flowers (acacia, hawthorn), and a subtle saline hint. The palate is dry, precise, and powerful, with a striking acidity that is both refreshing and structural. Mid-palate richness is evident, leading to a long, complex finish dominated by mineral purity and a touch of ripe citrus. The 2022 vintage, being on the warmer side, may lend a slightly softer acidity and riper fruit expression than cooler years, while still retaining its quintessential Chablis character.
