Chablis, Valmur--Vintage 1995 Verget "The 1995 Chablis Valmur is the most impressive Chablis I have ever tasted. I had no idea Chablis could be this incredible. The nose was so compelling in its combination of ripe fruits and steely flint that I was afraid to taste the wine: if it wasn't as good as the nose I'd be terribly disappointed. When the time came to taste this wine, I was blown away by the utterly remarkable flinty, steely, almost petrolly, superripe fruit it contained, and contained, and contained. After (literally) a minute I still had the flavors in my mouth. Explosions of unreal minerality and superrich fruits took over. I soon realized that I had tears rolling down my cheeks. Looking up, I saw the other tasters were also stunned by this wine's exceptional stature and presence on the palate. This wine has a melancholic, steely power that drives emotion to the fore. In this tasting, Guffens told me he hoped he never received a perfect score, as he'd have to live up to it his entire life. Sorry, Jean-Marie, but the Chablis Valmur may one day deserve it."Pierre-Antoine Rovani, Robert Parker Wine Buyer's Guide, Fifth Edition 1 dozen bottles per lot
