Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons AC - Récolte du Domaine 0.75L

The Vaillons is one of the most famous Premier Cru sites in Chablis — a slope of Kimmeridgian limestone that gives the Chardonnay an unmistakable mineral austerity. Joseph Drouhin, one of the great Négociant houses of Burgundy with roots since 1880, vinifies this Récolte du Domaine from its own vineyard holdings and relies on the classic Chablis style: clear, precise, without frills.

In the glass, the wine glows in a light yellow-green with green reflections. The nose combines citrus fruit — lemon, a hint of grapefruit — with white flowers and a distinct mineral depth reminiscent of chalk and sea air. Added to this are vegetal notes of asparagus and artichoke, typical for the site and the vintage. On the palate, the wine presents itself as clear and taut, with lively acidity and a long, salty-mineral finish.

Served at 10–12 °C, it is ideal with oysters, scallops with lemon butter, or a classic sole meunière. It also cuts a fine figure with goat cheese or a light risotto with asparagus.
