Valmur, nestled in a natural amphitheater between two Grand Cru slopes, pursues a different strategy than its Raveneau sibling Blanchots. Where Blanchots emphasizes concentrated depth, Valmur showcases restraint and pure limestone expression—a more whispered intensity that rewards contemplation over exuberance. From 40-year-old vines on prime Kimmeridgian terrain, this Grand Cru crafts wines known for elegance and purity rather than weight. The 2023 possesses the vibrant acidity and mineral structure Valmur is famous for, with floral hints and citrus notes that speak to the limestone amphitheater's perfect exposure. This is Grand Cru for those who prize subtlety: wines that gain complexity over hours in the glass, that match delicate crustaceans rather than demand richly-sauced preparations, that prove age-worthiness doesn't require obvious power. Perfect for 15+ years of patient cellaring in proper conditions.

"From a .75 ha parcel. This could be from nowhere else with its equally reticent nose of shellfish, quinine, pear, green apple and an abundance of citrus elements. There is excellent volume and outstanding richness to the dense, muscular and powerful broad-shouldered flavors that possess an agreeably dry, sappy and beautifully long finish that is borderline tannic. This is a very serious and powerful Valmur that is clearly built for longer-term cellaring"

"The 2023 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru has an enticing bouquet with white tea and chamomile infusing its citrus fruit. This has superb mineralité that becomes more evident with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. It's elegant and tender in style yet still powerful as it fans out on the finish. The tongue tingles on the aftertaste. Fantastique." —Neal Martin

Robert Parker

"The 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur, derived from a steep, south-facing site, is showing superbly and is one of the wines of the vintage. With more mid-palate amplitude than any other wine in the range, it soars from the glass with a bouquet of extraordinary complexity, featuring notes of iodine, acacia, grapefruit zest and oyster shell. Isabelle Raveneau explains that the parcel is like a small natural amphitheater, and work is mostly done in the mornings since it’s too hot to work there during the day. On the palate, the wine is deep, full-bodied and multifaceted, with incredible concentration, tangy acidity and striking intensity, finishing with a long, saline aftertaste. Both more tensile and slightly more linear than the dramatic Clos that followed it, this is a brilliant Valmur." —Kristaps Karklins

"Seductive, silky and very fine, the Valmur has aromas of ripe apple, nectarine and fresh white blossoms with a suggestion of oyster shell. The palate has decidedly grand cru power and weight, but there is still a charming elegance. Compared to the other Raveneau grands crus, this has less power than Les Clos and less lemony mineral tension than Blanchot, but it has a charming finesse all its own and should continue to improve for decades to come. The grapes are from 0.70ha exposed due south in the centre of Valmur."

More about Raveneau

Undisputed greatest producer in Chablis. François established the domaine in 1948; his sons Bernard and Jean-Marie now run it. Raveneau pioneered barrel fermentation and extended lees contact in Chablis. Their Grand Cru holdings (Les Clos, Blanchots, Valmur) produce wines of mineral purity.
