Burghound
Once again the wood treatment is generous but it stops short of being intrusive on the nose of mineral reduction, tidal pool and quinine aromas. There is wood on the palate as well as on the concentrated, intense and muscular flavors that deliver fine length on the citrus-tinged and very dry finish. This isn't refined and the wood isn't subtle but once again there is good development potential.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur is showing well, offering up a reserved bouquet of orchard fruit and oyster shell, framed by a delicate touch of toasty oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and layered, with excellent concentration and a long, stony finish.
Wine Enthusiast
The appetizing nose on this wine offers creamy, nutty and lemon-scented freshness. The palate adds supersmooth, juicy ripeness that suggests yellow apple, juicy Mirabelle and a touch of honey from the ripeness of 2018. There is wonderful freshness, however, and cool, chalky depth that turns this into a balanced, rounded, mouthwatering wine with real dimension. The finish is zesty and long. Drink 2022–2040.
Vinous
The 2018 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru was cropped at 25hl/ha from 45- to 70-year-old vines and matured in a mixture of 1- to 4-year-old barrels, for bottling in 2021. This has a very perfumed and slightly better-defined bouquet than the Blanchot. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry, ripe but tense with superb mineralité already in evidence. Focused all the way through to the lingering finish, this is an outstanding Valmur in the making.
James Suckling
A southeast parcel that has such effortless, smooth build and impressive length of peaches and mangoes with apricots and a robust, flowing finish. Drink or hold.
