Robert Parker

“The 2014 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur offers a crisp bouquet with alluring notes of white flowers, complemented by aromas of citrus zest, nectarine, and granita. On the palate, it is fresh and precise, with a briny quality and an intense finish that is both complex and delightful. This wine perfectly showcases the early ripening of the Valmur vineyard, and we highly recommend it. ” (Wine Advocate 2016 – Robert Parker)

Rated estate (2020 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Chablis’s leading producer consistently delivers a faithful interpretation of the appellation, thanks to the precise and meticulous work of winemaker Vincent Bartement. As always, the wines are released one vintage behind; this year’s release is from 2016, a complicated vintage in which the Mont-de-Milieu region fared very well. Other terroirs that the winery usually handles well taste a little less impressive this time around—let’s wait for the 2017s!

Rated Estate (2020 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

The largest producer of Chablis ranks among France’s finest cooperatives, demonstrating equal skill in business and winemaking. Among the many vintages produced, it can be challenging to choose, but all the wines now benefit from flawless technical expertise in pressing and aging on the lees. The standout specialties are the consistently excellent Chablis Vieilles Vignes and the Premiers Crus in heavy bottles, which rival the finest wines from private estates—not to mention the famous Grand Cru Château Grenouilles, which should not be drunk too young! The entry-level wines have improved significantly and have shed the reductive notes that once characterized them. La Chablisienne is in fine form!
