95 Points - Sara d'Amato
Despite a warmer than usual growing season all over Burgundy, Louis Moreaus 1er Cru Chablis remains vibrant and well structured without an excess of ripeness. Vaillons is one of the larger 1er Cru vineyards in Chablis, actually made up of 8 different premier cru climats which are often blended and labelled as "Vaillons". Grapes are grown on southeasterly slopes and tend to showcase delicacy over power often with a distinctive floral component. This incarnation is chalky and toasty with a light viscosity. Nervy, elegant and focused but still exhibiting a flavour profile of generous girth and impressive complexity, depth and length. Drinking very well should develop intriguing bottle-aged character and greater harmony over the next 2-4 years.
