Score 94/100 · Drink 1999-2012, Robert Parker, Jun 1999

The stupendous 1996 Chablis Valmur is vibrant, bright, and exhibits a floral nose leads to a wine of crystalline precision. It has mind-boggling depth as well as powerful quartz, lemon, chalk, and mineral flavors. This full-bodied and quintessentially elegant offering is as tightly-wound as a spring, seemingly holding back most of its character in reserve, yet Raveneau said it was more forward and expressive than he would have imagined. It is a grand vin, one that merits years of cellaring. Projected maturity: 2004-2012. Bravo! Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524.
