FrancoisRaveneauChablisGrandCruValmur

96/100 â€?The 2009 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur is a brilliant wine that’s still a mere adolescent as it approaches its tenth birthday, unfurling in the glass with notes of waxy lemon rind, lime zest, wheat toast and iodine, framed by light reduction. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with immense density and controlled power, displaying a deep, tight-knit core and concluding with a long, mineral and beautifully defined finish. This is a fabulous rendition of Raveneau Valmur with its terroir front and center despite the warmth of the vintage. â€?William Kelley, Wine Advocate
