2016 Chablis Valmur

(entirely in cuve ; from purchased fruit): Light-medium yellow with green reflections. A bit more exotic on the nose than the Bougros, offering scents of blood orange, flint and pepper. Silky, juicy and dry; more saline, chiseled and alive than the Bougros, which is a bit too fruity and opulent today. Perhaps an oddball in the context of this line-up, and a bit disjointed and tricky to taste right now, but complex and saline on the aftertaste.
