"This has changed very little since I originally reviewed it and it remains absolutely fantastic with superb potential. My review stated that there was a bit of wood in evidence but that has largely disappeared to allow the green fruit, white flower and salt water aromas to shine. The ultra-pure, refined, elegant and cool flavors possess terrific vibrancy and focused power before culminating in a driving, understated, firm and altogether serious finish. I very much like this as it's classic Valmur and should age beautifully as the balance is perfect. I would note that while it can certainly be drunk now with pleasure it very clearly is still on the way up and I would strongly advise allowing it to continue aging. In sum, this is brilliant."

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.
