Jean-Paul Droin 2000 Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons

Alan Uchrinscko — Sat, 01 Jun 2002 08:47:57 +0000

A blend of the climats roncieres, epinottes, secher, beugnons and chatains. The minerality of Epinottes shines through on the classic gunflint nose while the concentrated acidity and ripenesss completes the wine. Very good persistence. Aged in 15% 2-3 year oak barrels. **(*)
