"Vaillons" Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay
Rich, ripe flavors with white orchid, lemon fruit, mineral & floral notes — 2 months ago
That’s my fav. You don’t know how excited I get when I see that producer on a shelf or on a wine list. Overdelivers every goddamn time
It’s like the post Covid version of PYCM with a wonderful price point
Glad to hear Jesus Thanks for your note!

Not as deliberately oxidative, but still too oxidative to be Chablis. — a month ago

“Les Lys” is one of the eight climats within Vaillons but it’s peculiar in terms of its exposure and the soil contains a bit more clay. The wines are equally unique expressions and typically long lived. This bottle is no exception.
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a hour. The 2010 “Les Lys” pours a bright yellow color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with explosive notes of tart and ripe orchard and tropical fruits: green apple, starfruit, passion fruit; a mixed bag of citrus with lemon, lime and even some tangerine. There’s white flowers, a whiff of brioche and racy minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. It has been a few years since I last had the 2010 and it’s no less stunning. Drink now through 2035+ — 25 days ago
