Tastes Like

• Liquid sunlight kissed by sea breezes — that’s lemon zest, white flowers, and the soft hint of asparagus in a bottle.
• Like biting into a crisp, green apple while the minerality dances on the palate—a refreshing tidal of lime zest.
• A long, crisp finish that lingers like a beloved summer memory—a splash of honeyed warmth rounds it all off.

Pairs With

• Celebrate a ‘go big or go home’ seafood soirée with shellfish as your charming co-host; crab’s sweetness and the wine’s mineral depth are a match made in heavenly oyster beds.
• Dive into the rich comforts of Burgundian classics like gougères or jambon persillé, savoring how the herbal notes flirt with every bite.
• Pair it with a night of sushi-inspired poetry with friends, where every sip complements the delicate dance of fresh sashimi and perfectly aged soy.

From

In the 1960s, when most had turned their backs on Chablis, the Drouhin family bet heavily on a comeback story richer than cinema itself. Today, Joseph Drouhin’s Chablis Vaillons is like holding that legacy of foresight and passion in your very hands—a delicious testament to what faith in the future can taste like.

Crafted in a vineyard where ancient marine fossils infuse the very soil, each bottle of Vaillons is more than wine; it’s a narrative of nature and time harmonizing to perfection. That distinctive terroir kisses the Chardonnay grapes with its mineral-rich essence, marking this wine as a notable elder in the house of Burgundy’s white wines.

Being lovingly crafted with an emphasis on tradition yet with respect for modern winemaking wisdom, the Vaillons 2019 unfolds with a personality that’s both fresh and graciously aging. Whether you’re new on the Burgundy scene or a devoted disciple, this bottle promises a vibrant yet composed elegance that’s hard to deny—it’s not just about tasting; it’s an initiation into an enduring wine saga.
