This Valmur brings out great richness from the vineyard and the vintage while keeping an intense texture, orange zest and grapefruit flavors and a firm butter and toast aftertaste. Age for four years.——R.V.(4/1/2012)—— 93

This Valmur is broad, soft, rich, with less mineral character than some Grand Crus. What is does offer is open, accessible white fruits, melon, warm toast and a very fine acidity. ——R.V.(5/1/2011)—— 92

Fine ripe fruit shows on this full-flavored wine, but there is as much of the vanilla, toast and spice character as there is of the peach note. The texture, though, is all fruit, tight apple skins with final fresh acidity. ——R.V.(7/1/2010)—— 93

An initially wood-laden wine that only slowly reveals the rich fruit character. There is wood certainly, but the spice integrates well with the green fruits and the intense minerality. The great steely backbone on this wine indicates it will age.——R.V.(5/1/2009)—— 92
