This Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons is a Chardonnay from Burgundy. The nose opens with ripe, rich fruit, and a second nose adds warmth over a mineral background. On the palate, fruit and tension give way to a rich texture that coats the mouth without feeling heavy. The finish is crunchy and juicy, with clear Chardonnay character.
Olivier Savary and his wife, Francine, have been vignerons in Maligny, just north of Chablis, since 1984. Olivier studied at wine school in Dijon without vines of his own, then farmed land in Chablis and Petit Chablis by sharecropping. He sold most of his production in bulk to a négociant before the couple began bottling under their own label. Their sons, Maxime and Mathieu, now work alongside them. Their vineyards sit on clay-limestone Kimmeridgian hillsides.
