Tasted blind at the annual ?Burgfest? tasting in Brouilland. The 2013 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur has a rich, what feels like a botrytis-affected bouquet with lanolin and hazelnut notes infusing the citrus fruit. As it opens, it beings attaining more detail and exudes more wet stone/mineral scents. The palate is well balanced with a pleasant saline entry. Good tension here, just a dab of spice, though less than Raveneau's Valmur. All it is missing is some persistence on the finish as it just cuts away a little too swiftly, otherwise this is a very well made if not a spectacular Grand Cru that should offer 10 years of drinking pleasure.

This possesses the most elegant nose in the range with its layered and restrained aromas of green fruit, algae, sea breeze and iodine. There is ample mid-palate fat; indeed I would describe the medium weight flavors as opulent with a beguiling texture that extends to the delicious finish where the complexity has improved considerably from where it was last year at the same time
