Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru 2018 (750ML)

91-93 VM / 90-92 BH

The 2018 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru is airy and gracious, with striking inner perfume and lift. Citrus peel, white pepper and chalk give the Vaillons its brilliant aromatic top register and total sense of class. This is an especially bright, tender style for Vaillons (an early-ripening site) and for the vintage. Bright saline notes punctuate the finish. Antonio Galloni – Vinous Media

A more classically styled nose features notes of citrus, iodine, seashore and cool green apple. The middle weight and attractively energetic flavors combine good minerality and density with a dry, youthfully austere and focused finale. Lovely. - Allen Meadows, Burghound
