Jean Paul Droin Chablis Premier Cru "Vaillons" 2008 $43 Pineapple, lemon, white flowers and a whiff of oak spice on the nose. Sweet on entry, then nicely concentrated and rich in the middle, with good floral lift. This harmonious, easygoing, tactile wine finishes with good citrus lift and grip. This is unusually fine for Vaillons with a lightly spiced nose of white flowers & pineapple that is really quite elegant and the refinement continues onto the rich yet precise and lacy flavors that possess excellent intensity and even better depth on the extended- and palate-staining finish. This is one of the best examples of the vineyard in 2008.
Corkage $20 per bottle
