Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin Chablis Grand Cru Valmur 2009 is a powerful white Burgundy from one of the Chablis region`s most esteemed sites. The 2009 vintage provided a warm growing season, resulting in a wine with an opulent profile of yellow plum, honeyed citrus and crushed oyster shells. This bottling is defined by its substantial volume and a rich, oily texture that is balanced by a persistent mineral drive. Now with 17 years of age, it has developed sophisticated secondary notes of beeswax, toasted hazelnuts and a hint of truffle.

The 2009 Chablis Valmur soars from the glass with layers of finely-spun fruit that emerge effortlessly from its round, enveloping frame. This fleshy, expressive Chablis is loaded with personality. The ample finish exudes classiness and sheer persistence. Anticipated maturity. 2012-2024. - Antonio Galloni
89 Vinous
Strong oak on the nose overpowers aromas of pear and rocks. Rather massive but a bit diffuse on the palate, with moderate definition to the ripe peach flavor. More impressive for its volume than its precision or typicity. Finishes a bit aggressive. Incidentally, 2007 was the last vintage in which this grand cru was made from old vines.Stephen Tanzer1st July 2011
