Domaine Durup La Marche du Roi 2005 WHITE France

Thirty years ago in the early days Jean Durup supplied us with fine Chablis from his family domaine. Today Durup Chablis returns with a very special wine released under the name of Jean's daughter Valerie. It's from a small (4.5 hectares) plot called 'La Marche du Roi' in a steep-sided valley where the earliest vineyards of Chablis were originally planted. Its excellent aspect (fully exposed to the sun) matches neighbouring Premier and Grand Cru vineyards. Yet for no good reason it was overlooked by the authorities who classified the vineyards of Chablis. This is clearly a Chablis that punches well above it standard AOC designation. A very smart buy for Chablis lovers who care more for the content of the bottle than the label! Lavished with exceptional care concentrated and intense it ranks as one of the region's least-known stars. Pale gold with fresh aromas and great concentration of vibrant fresh flavours - this is a serious Chablis!
