Tasting notes
The 2018 Chablis Vaillons Les Minots 1er Cru is as radiant, open-knit and seductive as wines from Vaillons, and especially this southern part of the cru, tend to be. Light, floral notes, honey, spice and lemon confit grace this soft, exquisite Chablis from Patrick Piuze.

The 2018 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons Les Minots is showing very well, mingling aromas of crisp Anjou pear and green apple with scents of white flowers, marzipan and fresh stone fruits. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with chewy structuring extract, good precision and a stony finish.
From a warm part of the valley, which is a heat trap. Thereâs a very rich and ripe set of aromas here with a core that holds good shape and length. Smooth, good density and peaches in abundance. Drink now.
