"Tasted blind at the Burgfest annual tasting, the 2014 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur has a finely-tuned bouquet with scents of orange blossom, lemon peel and flinty aromas. The palate is very well balanced with a fine thread of acidity. I adore the harmonious nature of this Valmur, the silver bead of acidity and the precision on the finish that fans out gloriously. This is an outstanding Valmur from Chrisitan Moreau, a wine that appears to be getting better and better with age."

Produces steely, mineral Chardonnay from Kimmeridgian limestone in Burgundy's cool north, prized for precision, purity and saline drive.
2014 in Burgundy is a benchmark white vintage, tense, fresh and mineral, though Cote de Beaune hail cut yields; the reds are balanced and classically proportioned, with good freshness and medium-term aging potential.
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.
