Vinous Neal Martin - 11 Aug 26
The 2025 Chablis Vaillons Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru comes from 70-year-old vines. It comes across as quite understated on the nose, with orange rind, citrus peel and crushed limestone scents, and a touch of oyster shell manifesting with aeration. The palate

Chablis

Chablis, the northernmost Burgundy region, is famed for its crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnay wines. Unlike rich, oaky Chardonnays, Chablis wines, influenced by the cool climate and limestone-rich soils, feature vibrant acidity and flavours of green apple, citrus, and flint. Ideal with seafood, especially oysters, Chablis wines come in four appellations: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru, and Chablis Grand Cru. Esteemed producers like Domaine William Fèvre, François Raveneau, and Vincent Dauvissat are known for their classic, terroir-expressive wines.
