Chablis Vaillons is very close to the village of Chablis, on the south west side. It is one of the 17 main Premiers Crus due to its excellent exposure and Kimmeridge soil concentration, giving it the easily recognizable character of Chablis.
In the sixties, when the Chablis vineyards were all abandoned, Robert Drouhin recognized the potential of this region which had been ravaged by the phylloxera disease a century before. He was one of the first Burgundy propriétaires who set about revitalizing the area.
The Kimmeridgian limestone contains millions of tiny marine fossils embedded in a kind of whitish mortar which may have once been the bottom of the sea. This marine origin gives the wines of Chablis their unique flavour.
The 2023 vintage stands out as one of the hottest years in Burgundy, even surpassing 2022. The grapes were harvested at perfect maturity. The wines are very aromatic with notes of yellow fruits mingling with flower hints. The palate is ample and full-bodied.
Producer Notes
A dry and brisk wine, typical of Chablis. Brilliant yellow-green colour with green reflections. On the nose mineral and complex aromas are reminiscent of lemon and white flower, together with vegetal hints such as asparagus or artichoke and marine notes.
On the palate, the first impression is clear-cut and sharp. Long on the aftertaste, with fruity as well as mineral flavours; becomes slightly honey-scented when the wine is more evolved.
