Baked bread aromas and a full-flavoured palate characterise this superb premier cru Chablis. The well-positioned vineyard of Fourchaume slopes gently down to the road to Maligny, home to the Durups who own Domaine des Valery.

![]() ![]() ![]() Producer Profile...
At 165 hectares, Jean Durup has assembled the largest domaine in Chablis, owning a staggering 165 acres, largely by acquiring and re-planting land that was abandoned after WWII. He makes pure, classic 'terroir wines' showing steely minerality without any use of oak. All his wines undergo malolactic fermentations, and are impeccably made in modern cellars at Maligny. The Durups' renovation of the château opposite is proving a longer term project.
