Note: from 70+ year old vines in Beugnons. Tasting note: An exuberantly fresh nose speaks of white pepper, floral, oyster shell and green apple scents. There is again excellent volume and richness to the super-saline suffused medium weight flavors that also conclude in a clean, bone-dry and focused finale. This is also really very good.—Allen Meadows, Burghound
Testut vines are subject to the ideal exposure for obtaining a perfect balance between maturity and minerality. All Premier Cru, as well as most of the Chablis Domaine and Grand Crus are harvested manually. - Domaine Testut

92+ WA / 90-93 JM / 89-92 BH
The 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons mingles aromas of crisp yellow orchard fruit and white peach with hints of beeswax and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping but incisive, with tangy acids and fine depth at the core, it's long and saline.—William Kelley. The Wine Advocate
2018 Bernard Defaix Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru (750ML) $39.89 (In Stock) - Buy Now
91 JM / 90 BH
This comes mostly from the heart of Vaillons with some Séchet. Pale lemon again. Quite a subtle and discreet nose. A little bit of bacon too. There is a classical dry finish, but still a sweetness of fruit from the vintage. The wine lingers beautifully on the palate. Jasper Morris – Inside Burgundy
2017 Jean et Sebastien Dauvissat Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru
(750ML) $46.89 (In Stock) - Buy Now
92-94 VM / 89-91 BH
Tasted from tank just prior to bottling, the 2017 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru shows why this vintage is so compelling. Apricot, peach and tropical fruit give the 2017 a decidedly exotic flair, and yet bright acids keep the wine lively and energetic. Sweet floral and honeyed notes build into the creamy, layered finish in this super-expressive, inviting Chablis from Dauvissat.-- Antonio Galloni – Vinous Media
