As one of the largest land holders in the premier cru of Vaillons, the Droin family makes this wine one of the best bargains in the AOC. 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 that is floral and mineral, particularly in warmer vintages. Only about 20% of this wine is aged in neutral barrel with the remainder in tank.
