"The 1997 Chablis Vaillons has a nose composed of pineapple, wood spice, and anise. Expressive, feminine, and medium-bodied, it possesses a flavorful core of spicy white peaches, minerals, and almonds. . .'The 1997 vintage produced very good wines. At harvest the grapes were gold colored, showed no signs of rot, and had huge physiological ripeness,' said Vincent Dauvissat, the energetic and bright director of this renowned estate. 'They are wines of pleasure that can be drunk early but that will age longer than most people think. They are not over-ripe monsters because there was little loss of acidity after the malo-lactic fermentations.'"
