The 2019 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur from Maison J. Moreau & Fils is a pure expression of Chardonnay, showcasing the exceptional terroir of one of Chablis’ most prestigious climats. Sourced from old vines facing the setting sun on chalky scree slopes rich in Kimmeridgian marl and fossilized oysters, this wine reflects both complexity and elegance. In the glass, it shines a bright gold, offering intense mineral aromas and a beautifully balanced palate marked by freshness and richness. Aged for 18 months on fine lees with partial barrel fermentation, it delivers a textured, expressive character that pairs exquisitely with seafood, salmon, turbot, or white meats in cream sauce. With an ageing potential of 7 to 15 years, this Grand Cru is best enjoyed around 14°C (57°F), representing the finesse and authenticity of great Chablis—even more remarkable given the challenging yet rewarding 2019 vintage.
