Domaine Jean Defaix Valmur Grand Cru 2018 (6 Bottles) Burgundy, France

$1,428.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Valmur is a very powerful, imposing “climat” with a lot of minerality. This confers on the wine an austerity and a sense of reserve that are the signature of the great wines of Chablis. Yellow and white fleshed fruits like peach and apricot are revealed. In sunny years, these notes develop towards concentrated fruits “confits” and quince.

In cool years, the floral notes such as hawthorn offer the wine of this “climat” all its distinctiveness. It is a great wine for keeping and it generally needs more than 10 years for the wine to decompress and reveal all its substance.

It will be perfect with white meat in sauce, with lobster or also with mature cheeses.

Description

About Jean Defaix

Daniel Dampt is one of Chablis’ most celebrated producers, and he produces wines both under his own name and that of Jean Defaix, his father-in-law. The domaine covers 30 hectares of vines (16 in AOC Chablis and 14 in 1er Cru vineyards) split across five sites.

Working with his two sons, Vincent and Sebastien, who have worked in New Zealand and Australia, the family produce clean, ultra-pure whites with bright steely acidity and not so much as a hint of oak. They craft wines that are true to the history of the region and reflect the rich heritage of the Defaix name.
