| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.3 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 33 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Hugo Lanteigne on 4/26/2023 & rated 92 points: Sans note. (435 views) | | | Tasted by Goodwine4ever on 3/18/2023 & rated 93 points: Après dévoilement, on reconnait la richesse de Valmur par un beau gras en bouche, acidité moyenne voir faible mais le tout reste bien équilibré.
Un vin fin au profil plus exotique dans une superbe phase en ce moment.
Délicieux vin blanc au profil peu Chablisien mais vraiment bon ! (547 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 7/10/2021 & rated 90 points: Jolie bouteille mais qui n’a pas la tension ni la profondeur de la précédente bue il y a un mois. Un peu mou, malgré une bonne concentration et fraîcheur. 90 pts (1311 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 6/3/2021 & rated 94 points: Nez classique citron-lime, avec quelque chose de crémeux et d’herbacé. Le vin est puissant en attaque, comme tout Valmur qui se respecte, mais sa texture est aérienne, fraîche, d’une pureté cristalline. C’est très crayeux, avec de fines notes salines, une longueur honorable. Il a fait un malheur avec les moules. Quel beau vin! 93-94 pts (1465 views) | | | Tasted by fontaine on 12/29/2020 & rated 90 points: Fleur blanche, citron, mineral, pierre, avec une bonne tension. Peu de plaisir... probablement Mauvais match sur le bord du feu avec des guimauves mais le moment était superbe (1241 views) | | | Tasted by Hanibal on 3/11/2020 & rated 91 points: Not sure why i opened this bottle reading my notes now in December i said to wait and this confirms it. Nice saline smell but in the mouth the wine still has a good amount of elevage. It has the acidity and fruit to wait for a better day so wait....i will wait...hopefully! (1615 views) | | | Tasted by Hanibal on 12/13/2019 & rated 92 points: Still has not reached its peak (1657 views) | | | Tasted by sidaga on 10/14/2019 & rated 92 points: Oeil jaune dorée;
Splendide nez, sur des notes citronnées & marines (coquillage, bord de mer). Bonne intensité & fraîcheur à la fois. Légère trame beurrée & boisé en arrière plan.
Bouche en ligne avec le nez, tendue, sur des notes salines en finale. Finale salivante, complexe. Ensemble bien droit malgré la richesse des arômes. Excellent! (685 views) | | | Tasted by Hanibal on 5/21/2019 & rated 92 points: Nice citrus notes, apple, some nuts buttery with a nice long saline finish....better than a similar 2012 tasted 4 months ago (1285 views) | | | Tasted by stofken on 12/30/2018 & rated 90 points: under DIAM 10, lemon, some butter. Medium lenght, good but but great (young vines?) (745 views) | | | Tasted by ludwigbpm on 9/1/2018 & rated 92 points: A l’aveugle j’aurais problement été sur un vin de Beaune, tant l’élevage est encore présent et la texture présente. Belle finale saline et fruité, très bon vin à table avec une morue au four. (1225 views) | | | Tasted by vide on 3/10/2018 & rated 91 points: A wine that shows all the advantages and disadvantages of oak maturation. Good lift on nose of subdued lemon and butter; wonderful mouthfeel and impressive texture, with lemon, honey and butter.
A serious wine, and well made, but for me lacking the definition of great Chablis. (981 views) | | | Tasted by phil the agony on 1/15/2018 & rated 92 points: Je crois que je vais me tourner sur Chablis pour les blancs.Maudit que c'est bon.Encore de l'élevage avec un côté boisé et beurré.Très long en bouche avec un petit goût citronné qui s'adoucit en fin de bouche.
Très beau maintenant à mon goût.

Våt, dryppende frukt!
Sting, frisk, lang ettersmak. (926 views) | | | Tasted by seb007 on 1/6/2017 & rated 90 points: Un vin masculin, imposant qui manque un peu de finesse en ce moment. L'élevage est encore très présent et nous amène davantage en côte de Beaune qu'à Chablis. Bien qu'il ne soit pas fermé et qu'il se déguste bien en ce moment, à mon avis il profiterais d'encore quelques années de repos. (1585 views) | | | Tasted by sidaga on 12/14/2014 & rated 91 points: Oeil jaune dorée.
Très beau nez dès le départ, d'abord sur des notes de citrons, c'est bien franc & il y a une petite pointe empyreumatique/hydrocarbure qui devient plus intégré avec le temps. Le temps apporte des notes florales & un petit qqchose de sucré (miel). L'ensemble est élégant, tout est en harmonie, petite note iodée.
En bouche c'est bien frais, sur des notes de citrons, de pierres mouillées & des notes salines. La concenttration est bonne, c'est bien droit & franc. Longueur très bonne avec une petite touche d'épices vertes en finale. Facile à boire! Excellent! (1789 views) | | | Tasted by Libiamo! on 7/3/2014 & rated 91 points: 40 percent barrel fermentation and maturation (less than 10 percent new oak) gives the wine a toastier, rounded mouthfeel and more structure. On top of that, citrus, honey, pollen, cedar. High acidity. Medium plus finish with notes of mineral. (1793 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 6/29/2014 & rated 93 points: Le nez évoque le citron et un peu de vanille.
La bouche est dense et minérale, ronde et suave. Un vin puissant et fin à la fois, un peu fermé au niveau aromatique, mais doté d'un potentiel magnifique. 93+ pts (1902 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
Chablis Chablis (Fédération de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis) | Chablis (Burgundy Wines)
2014 Vintage Notes:
"... a hybrid of 2004/2007 and 2010. The stone, citrus and limestone amalgam is exactly what we search for in Chablis as the style harkens to a day in the Cote de Beaune proper (1960's - 1980's) when wine was not meant to be consumed the week it was released, battonage was not used by all and new oak was rarely seen ... the texture is natural and 'of the vintage' not 'of the winemaker' .... Like Sancerre or the Loire in general, 2014 in Chablis is one of those rare years with extract and transparency. It appears to be a vintage for the "neoclassic" ages and those of us intent on cellaring the most terroir-driven (but still powerful) examples of vineyard, site-place and varietal will want to invest (heavily) in the magnetic and electric 2014's." - Jon Rimmerman
2018 Vintage Notes:
"There’s not that razor sharp Chablis acidity in 2018,” says Patrick Piuze. “But there is good definition of place. The dry conditions drove vines to drink deeper down in the soil profile."
