2014 Chablis Vaillons

The 2014 Chablis 1Er Cru Vaillons, which comes from purchased grapes from Domaine Duplessis, is raised half in concrete eggs and half in wooden barrel for 12 months. It has a very refined bouquet with scents of lemon sherbet, lemon thyme and a touch of orange blossom. There is fine precision here. The palate is quite saline on the entry, harmonious and saline in the mouth, a twist of sour lemon right on the aftertaste. This is a very well-crafted Chablis Vaillons that will probably benefit from 2-3 years in barrel.
