Chablis 1er Cru - Vaillon - 2011 - Daniel-Etienne Defaix - Chablis - France

Vaillons is one of the largest Premier Cru vineyards in Chablis, located in a valley to the southwest of Chablis town itself. Here, on the western side of the Serein river, a southeasterly aspect and high-quality Kimmeridgian soils make for an excellent terroir. Chardonnay-based wines made in the Vaillons vineyard tend to be floral and more delicate than those from the other side of the river, but still retain Chablis' characteristic intense minerality.

Crisp acidity, minerality, lemon and lime, apple, pear, grassiness.
