Domaine Billaud Simon Chablis gc. Valmur 2023 0,75l
Chablis Grand Cru Valmur from Billaud-Simon is sourced from a natural amphitheatre that channels cool air and preserves tension in warm years. Chardonnay vines rooted in fossil-rich Kimmeridgian limestone are carefully hand harvested. The bouquet is delicate yet incisive, with candied lemon, lime and green apple alongside chalk, seashells and subtle herbal notes. On the palate Valmur is elegant, compact and linear, offering complex citrus flavours and bright, mouth-watering acidity. The texture is fine and taut, while the mineral depth grows with each sip. A long, chalky, citrus-driven finish makes this grand cru a perfect partner for oysters, seafood and simply prepared fish.

The Great Vertical Tasting: A wine through the mirror of time.
Anyone who compares wine across several vintages discovers its development in a particularly impressive way. A vertical tasting reveals how style, maturity, structure and aromas change over time – and helps to find the right vintage for personal taste or a special occasion.
The grape variety: Chardonnay
Chardonnay is a globally renowned white grape from Burgundy, capable of crisp, mineral, creamy or oak-aged styles. Its flavours range from citrus and apple to peach, butter, nuts and toast.
It pairs with seafood, chicken, creamy pasta, mushrooms, lobster and soft cheeses. Chardonnay is exciting because it can be beautifully simple or profoundly complex.
