Chablis Grand Cru Valmur
Chablis Grand Cru Valmur
AOC Chablis 1er Cru
Grape Variety: 100% Chardonnay

Valmur forms a small valley in the center of the Grand Cru hill. Tucked between Vaudésir and Grenouilles on the left and Les Clos on the right, Valmur is generally considered to boast an extreme meso-climate within Chablis. Summers are hot, and winters are very cold. Regardless of the winemaker's intentions, the terroir itself produces wines of serious quality, with a majestic, metallic, and intensely pure character. Grapes are hand-picked at full ripeness and immediately sorted on-site. The grapes are then transported to the winery and whole-cluster pressed. The pressing is carried out slowly and deliberately (3.5 hours). This is followed by 10-12 hours of pre-clarification. Alcoholic fermentation takes place naturally in stainless steel tanks using only indigenous yeasts. Fermentation proceeds slowly over nearly 3 months. Malolactic fermentation is initiated naturally and carried out completely. The wine continues to age on its lees in stainless steel tanks, with one racking during aging to aerate the wine. The aging period is 24 months. Before bottling, each lot is blended and naturally clarified. Bottling is done unfiltered or with light filtration using diatomaceous earth.
