FEATURES
The 2015 Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin Chablis Valmur Grand Cru is a Chardonnay from 布根地 (Burgundy) that showcases a superb balance, especially for a 2015 vintage that could have been overly solar, heavy, and apathetic. Instead, its bright golden robe shows no signs of fatigue, and the pure initial nose is equally promising. The wine offers clear, subtle, and very Chablisien aromas, with light yellow fruit, butter, white pepper, lily, and iodine, without ostentation. On the palate, it is poised, gliding and caressing, with just the right roundness—neither heavy nor flattering—and a finely salivating salinity that coats the finish. Decanter experts noted it as very rich and bold, full-bodied and weighty, with superb concentration and integrated acidity. Other tasting notes include peach and lemon pie on the nose, beautiful acidity, and a hint of popcorn. 【 A classic Chablis style, highly realized with precision, finesse, and purity. 】
Food Pairing: This Burgundy Chablis wine pairs wonderfully with shellfish, rich fish like salmon or tuna, pork, and mild and soft cheeses.
Event Suggestions: The 2015 Valmur Grand Cru is showing beautifully now and still has years ahead, though some suggest it's difficult to see it improve further. It's an excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner party or a special seafood meal.
