Domaine Guy Robin & Fils – Valmur Vieilles Vignes 2008 – Chablis Grand Cru

Youthful, light golden colour. Fine nose, good intensity and purity, starting to show off some lightly roasted flavours; roasted nuts, pineapple, ripe grapefruit. Still with a good sense of purity and those mineral wet stone notes. Very good bite on the palate, excellent freshness, integrated well with that fruit that has flourished a little bit, now offering a bit more lushness, quite rounded texture with that yellow fruit, those hints of fresh butter, and that beautiful firm acidity giving a lift. No oak evident, I think those roasted notes are rather coming from that bottle aging. Slight complexity on the finish, good grip, good length, quite lingering on the palate but still very pure and precise, mouthwatering on the finish. Nice result, with an excellent drinkability today.
