Soil Nature:

The slope of the Chablis Grand Crus stretches in a crescent shape on the right bank of the Serein, opposite the village of Chablis. It represents only 2% of the total vineyard area. The soil consists of alternating marls and clayey limestones from the Upper Jurassic Kimméridgien, very rich in marine fossils, notably the Exogyra Virgula, a small oyster typical of Chablis soils.

The Chablis Grand Cru “Valmur” occupies a central position on the hillside of the Grand Crus. Its shape resembles that of a valley, hence its name “Valmur.” Our plot, managed using organic agriculture, benefits from a northwest exposure.

Vinification:

Pneumatic pressing and cold static settling. Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation. Vinification and aging in Burgundy barrels for 18 months to achieve natural stabilization. In respect of the natural expression of this wine, manipulations are kept to a minimum.

Tasting:

Our Valmur, playing in a fruity, floral register with a spicy finish, will perfectly accompany crustaceans, lobsters, langoustines, crayfish, and noble fishes such as turbot and sea bass.

Slow to age, Valmur begins to flourish between 5 and 8 years but can age further depending on the typicity of the vintage.

Organic Certification:

Organic certification acquired starting from the 2018 vintage. Certified by Bureau Véritas FR-BIO-10.
