Jean-Paul Droin, Chablis Valmur Size:6x750ml

Jean-Paul Droin, Chablis Valmur Size:6x750ml(from recently replanted vines totaling 1. 04 ha; aged in 50% wood but only a small percentage is new). A background dollop of wood surrounds pungent aromas of mineral reduction, petrol and green fruit. The spicy flavors dont possess quite the same mid palate concentration though there is still plenty of punch and muscle on the sneaky long and nicely complex finale. (91 93) 2026+

fruitcake and sandalwood over a core of preserved plums

sophisticated

focused and sneaky long finish

bright-rimmed ruby

Lots of tannins – almost Méo-Camuzet style

particularly on the dusty and mouth coating finish

it enters the palate with softness and elegance

Very long and quite persistent

plenty of tannins from 14 months in oak

but definitely ready to go the fruit shows a beautiful cherry note

the tannins are refined and fine-grained

Combe du Dessus and Les Marchais aged in 65% new wood and vinified with 65% of the stems)
