    April 18, 2021 - Robe dorée;
    Splendide nez, sur des notes citronnées, salines & un petit qqchose d'épices vertes séchées. Il y a un impression de richesse bien perceptible en arrière plan qui apporte profondeur & complexité à un nez harmonieux.
    Bouche en ligne avec les impressions du nez, tout est bien intégré, texture légèrement grasse en attaque, ensemble en parfait équilibre, longue finale saline & sur des impressions de citrons frottées sur de la craie. Excellent!

    December 11, 2019 - A faint whiff of lemon and peach. The palate has a creaminess, with a bit more citrus. I know 2013 wasnt the greatest year and this is probably a bit young but there is some complexity on the finish and a clean citrus tang. I'd perhaps wait a year or two to see if it improves. It is about £55 and you can find it at @laywheeler and several other places on @winesearcher 88 points

    January 1, 2019 - 2013 not the greatest vintage but it offers some crisp refreshing lemon flavours with a hint of creaminess and a decent finish. At £55 it's expensive and I'd spend your money on a different vintage. It was still nice, though. 88 points

    May 29, 2018 - Bon le 1er soir, un peu costaud pour Chablis, ce qui caractérise Valmur. Le lendemain toutefois, c'est exotique et mince... Millésime?

    September 3, 2017 - Ouvert 24 heures à l'avance puis bouchon remis sur la bouteille selon les instruction de Benoît Droin.
    Bu avec Grenouille et Les Clos.
    Entre les deux autres, sur les fruits blancs un peu plus mûrs que le Grenouilles et de texture un peu moins ronde que Les Clos. Pour moi une petite coche en-dessous des autres en raison d'une finale légèrement vanillée et un équilibre moins parfait que les 2 autres.
