Valmur Chablis Grand Cru 1982
This 1982 French white wine is produced by Jean-Marie Raveneau from the Valmur vineyard. It holds the Appellation Chablis Grand Cru Contrôlée classification. The wine was bottled directly at the estate and selected for import by Erik Sørensen.
Originating from Chablis in the northernmost part of Burgundy in eastern France, the wine reflects a region shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped its countless terroirs. Burgundy grows almost exclusively Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, elevating terroir to an art form with its fine-meshed system of climats. The Chablis area is defined by its cool climate and distinctive soils composed of limestone and Kimmeridgian clay, with vineyards spanning from Petit Chablis to Grand Cru. The 1982 vintage in this region achieved a score of 87 points and is described as full and ripe, though of uneven quality.
The wine is crafted from Chardonnay, one of the world's most renowned green grapes. This variety is capable of producing many different styles and is typically cultivated in prominent wine regions such as Burgundy, Champagne, California, and Oregon.
