Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

In its bright gold dress, this Grand Cru offers intense mineral aromas on the nose and a perfect balance in the mouth between liveness and fat with all the charm of an inimitable and authentic great Chablis wine.

This is the jewel in the crown of the Chablis range, excellent with seafood or fish (salmon, turbot) and white meats in cream sauce.

Professional Ratings

    Grown from a select plot of old vines, this beautiful expression of Valmur is full bodied and rich, with warm oak spices, ripe citrus, white peach, acacia and honeycomb. Approachable in its youth, the wine will cellar well through 2030.

    The lees depths of this wine take its white cranberry and apple flavors into a woodland mushroom realm. On the pale side, it’s white button mushroom flesh. On the darker side, it’s grilled hen of the woods. One taster found a nougat-like richness that glossed over the wine’s precision, while another found it elegant, with complexities to come.

    The bouquet is not especially forthcoming at the moment. There is a little touch of citrus mixed in with the ripe fruit, juicy in texture, well balanced with medium plus persistence, finishing with a lime note.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

The source of the most racy, light and tactile, yet uniquely complex Chardonnay, Chablis, while considered part of Burgundy, actually reaches far past the most northern stretch of the Côte d’Or proper. Its vineyards cover hillsides surrounding the small village of Chablis about 100 miles north of Dijon, making it actually closer to Champagne than to Burgundy. Champagne and Chablis have a unique soil type in common called Kimmeridgian, which isn’t found anywhere else in the world except southern England. A 180 million year-old geologic formation of decomposed clay and limestone, containing tiny fossilized oyster shells, spans from the Dorset village of Kimmeridge in southern England all the way down through Champagne, and to the soils of Chablis. This soil type produces wines full of structure, austerity, minerality, salinity and finesse.

Chablis Grands Crus vineyards are all located at ideal elevations and exposition on the acclaimed Kimmeridgian soil, an ancient clay-limestone soil that lends intensity and finesse to its wines. The vineyards outside of Grands Crus are Premiers Crus, and outlying from those is Petit Chablis. Chablis Grand Cru, as well as most Premier Cru Chablis, can age for many years.
