Origins

Grand Cru appellation.

Among the seven prestigious climats located in the commune of Chablis, the 11.04 ha of Valmur stretch across a “valley” at the heart of the appellation, running alongside that of Vaudésir as well as Grenouilles and Les Clos. Its location, offering subtle variations of exposition and altitude, enable more varied wines to be produced here than in the other vineyards. 

Vinification and maturing

Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts and in fine-grained barrels of selected origin for a part of the cuvee (10%).
The barrel-fermented wine was stirred weekly while the tank-fermented wine was stirred twice a month.

Vintage : 2022

In the Chablis area, in spite of the harsh spring frosts, the vines recovered very well and the grapes emerged in abundance. The lack of water was very troubling but a few showers on 15 August triggered the ripening process.

The harvest, running from 1 September to 22 September.  The vines' condition was ideal. Only a few scorch marks were visible following the hot weather. A very good harvest, in terms of quality and quantity, for all the Chablis appellations, with very interesting balances.
