The 2013 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons comes from vines between 60 and 70 years old and is raised for 18 months in stainless steel with eight months on the lees. It has a fruit-forward bouquet with hints of tangerine and dried mango developing in the glass, whereas I would have preferred more mineral tones. The palate is rounded on the entry with moderate acidity, a little softness creeping in toward the finish that just loses the tension that I was hoping for. It is commercially sound, but missing the intellectual dimension and terroir expression.
