The 1997 Chablis Valmur is superb. Fresh aromas of groseille (red currants), honeysuckle, and pears give way to an explosive, medium-to-full-bodied personality. Its flavor profile, crammed with flint, quartz, stones, and a magnificently pure minerality, is complex and impeccably balanced.
Could be the wine of the '97 vintage in Chablis. Aseamless work of art, simply mindboggling in itssheer balance. Medium- to full-bodied, it casts acurtain of silk on the palate. Lovely fruit, earthand mineral, too, but it's the texture that istruly unforgettable.
