"The 2009 Valmur is one of the undisputed stars in the William Fèvre cellars this year and is a profound bottle of Chablis grand cru in the making. The brilliant nose offers up a very Raveneau-like aromatic mix of candied lemon, apple, orange, kaleidoscopic minerality, spring flowers and a faint whiff of grassiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, very, very pure and rock solid at the core, with great, nascent complexity, racy acidity, laser-like focus and excellent grip on the very, very long, young and classy finish. A tour de force!"

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.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
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.
