Description / Reviews

"The appellation of Vaillon is located on the left bank of Chablis. We have 6 parcels of a total area of 4,7 ha in the historical heart of the Vaillons, all exposed south/south-east. The soil is also from the Kimmeridgien period with clay-limestone marls very rich of marine fossils, and most specifically small oyster fossils, called Exogyra Virgula. Two wines are produced from those vines: our Premier Cru Vaillon, blending of five different parcels which average age is from 37 to 74 years old." - Christian Moreau, Winemaker

"The 2025 Chablis Vaillon 1er Cru has a strict nose with touches of yellow fruit mixed with crushed stone and green apple. It gradually unfurls but keeps its foot on the brakes. The palate is well-balanced with a peachy opening. In fact, I would mistake this for a Côte de Beaune (Chassagne?) if I were served this blind. Very harmonious on the finish, this should drink well for several years.." - 90-92 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous
