This Chablis 1er Cru Vaillon, originating from one of Chablis’ esteemed terroirs, presents a classic profile of unoaked Chardonnay. The aroma will be bright and clean, with notes of crisp green apple, zesty lemon, and a distinctive wet stone or flinty minerality, possibly with subtle hints of white flowers. On the palate, expect high acidity and a bone-dry, refreshing character. Flavors will echo the nose, featuring tart citrus and green fruit complemented by a pronounced saline and chalky minerality. Vaillon often offers a slightly rounder texture than some other 1er Crus, adding a touch of elegance to its steely backbone. The finish is long, mineral-driven, and very cleansing.
