"The 2010 Valmur had also just been bottled the day before it was shown to me, but was absolutely singing. The deep, pure and utterly sophisticated nose offers up a magical blend of lime, green apple, tangerine, beeswax, chalky soil tones, citrus zest and lime blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and stunningly suave on the attack, with a rock solid core of fruit, an almost silky texture from the low yields, stunning focus and cut and great grip on the very, very long, transparent and brilliantly mineral finish. This is a great, great, great example of Valmur."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
