Les Marronniers Chablis Grand Cru Valmur 2023

2023 Les Marronniers Chablis Valmur, Grand Cru, Chablis, Grand Cru – Score: 92+ (QPR: WINNER)

The nose of this wine is lovely; it lacks the acid and pop punch of the Premier Cru, but it shows more elegance, being more controlled, rounder, yet also deeper, with rich salinity. Lovely, elegant oak, smoke, toast, and ripe pear take center stage, accompanied by notes of apple, oolong tea, five-spice, cinnamon, cloves, and sweet spices.

The mouth of this full-bodied Chablis is beautiful and on point, lovely, with great acidity, a hint of funk, smoke, elegant sweet oak, toast, and a smoky finish that is impressive. The control and balance of oak to fruit are apparent, and the fruit is on point, featuring ripe orange, apple, and smoke. Lovely! The finish is long, tart, balanced, and toasty, with lovely smoke, oak, funk, and light hints of the mushroom to come, along with intense acidity that makes it all work. Drink by 2028
