Valmur

2006 Chablis Chardonnay

This 2006 expression showcases a vibrant golden hue, indicative of its age while exhibiting graceful complexity. The wine offers a harmonious balance between subtle creaminess and lively acidity, creating an enchanting mouthfeel that invigorates the palate. Aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus zest, and delicate floral notes interlace beautifully, while intricate layers of flint and chalk underscore its terroir-driven character. This Chardonnay is beautifully dry, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, particularly seafood and creamy sauces. The Frederic Magnien Valmur is a true testament to the elegance and finesse that Chablis Chardonnays can achieve, captivating wine lovers with each sip.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
