Scores

Pale, bright yellow. Steely aromas of underripe pineapple, white peach and oyster shell. Dense, tactile and distinctly sappy, showing much less inner-mouth sweetness but more precision than the Grenouilles. This also aged in 50% oak but is much less marked by the wood. The bright lime and mineral flavors are complemented by a smoky, flinty silex quality. A very firmly built wine and the longest of these 2008s, with lovely energy and lift to its finishing flavors of lime and crushed stone. - 91-94 points Stephen Tanzer

Tasting Notes

Spicy white peach bouquet with a wonderful density on the palate and a long mineral finish. Benoît uses a little more oak on this to frame the extra muscle of the Valmur. A wine to be patient with- Benoît compares this to his 2002 which is still awaiting the corkscrew. Drink 2014-2020+.

ProducerDomaine JP & B Droin

Benoît Droin may have a youthful appearance but he speaks with the wisdom that can only come from generations of Chablisien know-how being passed down by a combination of intuition, osmosis and hard-work. His goal is terrific wines of purity, elegance and accessibility. Combine this with some great value pricing and these wines will continue to bring enormous pleasure to all who encounter them.
