($48, Frederick Wildman And Sons Ltd):  Vaillon is a large well-known 1er cru vineyard on the Left Bank in Chablis that is composed of many plots.  Christian Moreau’s plot, where the average age of the vines is 56 years, according to their website, is in the heart of the vineyard.  Year in and year out, their Vaillon is always one of their most exciting wines.  Their 2016 is not different.  A great success, it has almost all of the vivacity of the 2014 vintage combined with the ripeness of the 2015 vintage.  Drink now with sautéed scallops or cellar it for the next five or ten years.
