The vines, aged between 60 and 77 years, are deeply rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone, producing fruit of remarkable concentration and mineral drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"819\" data-start=\"436\"\u003eThe 2023 vintage balances ripeness and tension, reflecting a season that offered generous fruit yet retained Chablis’ hallmark clarity. Around 70 percent of the wine was raised in stainless steel to preserve purity, while the remainder matured in seasoned 228-litre barrels and larger 600-litre foudres. This approach gives shape and texture without masking the wine’s chalky core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1110\" data-start=\"821\"\u003eThe resulting Vaillons shows breadth and focus in equal measure. Layers of citrus and pear unfold over crushed stone and oyster shell, leading to a saline, finely structured palate. It captures both the immediate appeal of the vintage and the latent energy that will reward time in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1034\" data-start=\"905\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"922\" data-start=\"905\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"925\" data-start=\"922\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"933\" data-start=\"925\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"936\" data-start=\"933\"\u003e– Citrus and Stone\u003cbr data-end=\"957\" data-start=\"954\"\u003eTangerine zest, white flowers and pear over crushed oyster shell and chalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1191\" data-start=\"1036\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1046\" data-start=\"1036\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1049\" data-start=\"1046\"\u003e– Focused and Textural\u003cbr data-end=\"1074\" data-start=\"1071\"\u003eMedium to full-bodied with fine acidity, citrus peel and orchard fruit carried by chalky extract and saline energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1329\" data-start=\"1193\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1203\" data-start=\"1193\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1206\" data-start=\"1203\"\u003e– Long and Mineral\u003cbr data-end=\"1227\" data-start=\"1224\"\u003eClean, sapid and lingering with tension and finesse; broader than Beauregard, racier than Montmains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1604\" data-start=\"1331\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1354\" data-start=\"1331\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1357\" data-start=\"1354\"\u003e\u003cem data-end=\"1543\" data-start=\"1357\"\u003e“Opening with an expressive bouquet of tangerine zest, white flowers, pear and oyster shell … followed by a medium to full-bodied palate with ample chalky extract and a saline finish.” - \u003c\/em\u003eKristaps Karklins, \u003cem data-end=\"1584\" data-start=\"1565\"\u003eThe Wine Advocate\u003c\/em\u003e, 92–94 pts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1831\" data-start=\"1606\"\u003e\u003cem data-end=\"1789\" data-start=\"1606\"\u003e“Almost a little more serious but with fine clarity too.
