Product Notes
Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is a delightful French wine, hailing from the renowned Chablis region. This wine showcases remarkable balance and poise, characterised by typical Chardonnay notes of pear, apple and honeysuckle, underpinned by a distinctive minerality. The attractively complex nose beckons the discerning drinker into its stunning array of flavours. The palate delivers zesty acidity and a long, satisfying finish that leaves a refreshing aftertaste. Boasting subtle oak undertones, this racy number is perfect for ageing but equally enjoyable in its youth. An excellent match for seafood or white meat dishes. Love at first sip!
Tasting Notes
Our Vaillons is an assemblage of 5 separate "climats" (Epinottes, Roncières, Séchet, Chatains and Beugnons). It is a very classical wine with notes of white flowers and sea air. A very sunny exposure and its valley sheltered from the north winds bring quite early maturity that allows it to be enjoyed from its earliest years. It does not have the habitual austerity of young Chablis wines. Over time, the wine loses its floral aspect in favour of tertiary aromas of menthol and oyster shell. It can be matched with all types of sea produce but also with regional cheeses.
