Chablis Grand Cru Valmur

Grand Cru Valmur is a 13 hectare vineyard in the heart of the grand crus, bordered to the north by Vaudésir and Les Clos to the south. Soils here are made up primarily kimmeridgian (clay and limestone). The name of this parcel has two possible origins. It could be derived from the ‘Vallée aux Meures’, with meures meaning ‘blackberries’ in ancient French. Brambles, or blackberry bushes, previously grew in this area. A second theory suggests that the name originates from the meurs (walls) which were built around a property or parcels using stones taken from the fields known as ‘murgers’ or ‘meurgers’ thereby giving us the ‘Vallée des Meurgers’.
