As one of the largest landholders in the premier cru of Vaillons, the Droin family makes this wine one of the best bargains in all of Chablis. With its south – southeast exposure and gentle slope, Vaillons is considered, along with Montmains, to be one of the top premier crus west of the Yvonne. Benoît makes an elegant version of Vaillons from 4.82 hectares in the climats of Les Épinottes, Séchet, Roncières, Beugnons & Chatains resulting in a wine that is floral and mineral, particularly in warmer vintages. Only about 20% of this wine is aged in neutral barrels and the remainder in tank.
