Domaine Besson Vaillons, Chablis Premier Cru, Burgundy, France 2018

Description

The 2018 Domaine Besson Vaillons Premier Cru is a refined and expressive Chablis, showcasing the elegance of this prized vineyard. Aromas of citrus blossom, pear, and Mirabelle plum lead into a vibrant palate layered with lemon zest, stone fruit, and classic flinty minerality. Crisp acidity and subtle texture carry through to a clean, refreshing finish, making this a beautifully balanced and terroir-driven Premier Cru.

"A funky, yeasty touch of reduction clouds the nose of this wine. The palate fills up with notions of juicy pear and Mirabelle, edged slightly with lemon, to present fruity abundance. A hint of yogurt adds a lactic tinge to the midpalate and everything comes to a dry, fruity finish."
