0.75ha in area, with average age of 40 years, Raveneau's Valmur is already highly appealing with a luscious, ripe and concentrated stone fruit character. Yet this is not all heavy but has great lift and acidity to give the wine wonderful freshness on the finish. A fine balance of ripe fruit and precision. A very fine example of Valmur Grand Cru which will age beautifully for many years.

The 2021 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru was picked on September 23. This has a complex bouquet of praline, yellow fruit and touches of white linen emerging with time. The palate is well-balanced with fine delineation, taut and fresh, perhaps even more saline with a crescendo towards the classically styled, shadowy glade finish. This outstanding Valmur will age beautifully over the next 25- to 30-years. 

Subtle though easily perceptible wood can be found on the ripe and super-fresh aromas of green fruit, shrimp shell, lemongrass and ocean breeze. There is excellent mid-palate density to the powerful big-bodied flavors that possess serious drive on the wonderfully long and pungently mineral-driven finish. This is also quite tightly wound and should easily reward 10 to 15 years of bottle aging.
