Chablis Grand Cru Valmur Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin (Domaine) 2006

Domaine Jean-Paul and Benoît Droin is owned by one of the oldest families in Chablis, who have been working the vines for nearly five centuries. In 1547, Jehan Droin was already cultivating an enclosed vineyard. Today, the domaine is managed by Jean-Paul Droin and his son Benoît; it covers 26 hectares, including 5 grand crus and 8 premier crus. It has risen to the top of Chablis, offering precise, generous wines with a fine mineral persistence.

With the richness of a grand cru and the minerality and freshness of a Chablis, Valmur is a magnificent white wine. It will require 5-12 years' cellaring before it reaches its peak.
