One of the richer, more overt wines in the range, the 2012 Chablis Vaillons flows across the palate with considerable depth. Tropical overtones add complexity to a core of yellow-fleshed fruit in an exotic, racy Chablis. Today, the Vaillons is all about texture. Bracing, saline notes become more prominent as the wine sits in the glass. The balance here is simply remarkable. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Young, bright and tangy. The acid on this one leads me to believe it will improve over decades.

2012: Ordered from the wine list at Chez Panisse, so the context behinds there. Silky lemon water was the first impression, which isn't unexpected from youthful Chablis. Citrus notes developing on the nose, and the palate also became more alluring. By the last sip a slightly tangy lemony custard revealed itself, so all in all a great choice to begin the meal.

Abstract and old cheese on it's own but really showed with black truffle pasta.
