Offering up aromas of apples, peaches, white flowers and wheat toast, the 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillon is medium to full-bodied open-knit and fleshy, with a rich core of fruit, ripe acids and a saline finish.

The 2018 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru, matured 30% in barrel and the remainder in tank, has a delightful bouquet of citrus fruit, quince and light waxy aromas. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, and quite taut toward the finish, revealing hints of sour lemon and orange peel. Nice edginess here.
