  Another excellent bottle of this wine. Started light yellow and deepened to a light gold after time in the decanter but there is no sign of prem-ox at all. Reserved at first but opens up with air to show stone and salty profile with grapefruit and quinine. After two hours in the glass some white florals and faint passion fruit show. This is not a soft wine at all. I think a few years will give it more time to relax. Great now with food.

  Similar notes from this past June. Started bright light yellow and got more golden (not dark) with air, this has rapier acidity combined with classic Chablis stone, salt and citrus. A bit of white flower showed up at the end but very faint. I will hold my last couple bottles for longer. This one is going to get better for at least a couple years.

  Medium yellow. Searingly, stunningly Chablis. Fresh lemon, salt, jasmine. Cuts like a knife through the soft shell crab in butter. After too many tired bottles of 2008 La Forest this Vaillons was was a return to form. Wonderful.

  Fresh lemony curdy. A little hollow on palate not fleshy.
