The Droin family has been cultivating vines and producing wine for at least 5 centuries. The first member of the Droin family is mentioned in Chablis in 1547, Jehan Droin, who was already cultivating vines. In 1698, we know that a Jean Droin was not only a winemaker, but also a brandy maker and master cooper. The estate was expanded in 1791 with the purchase of national property. The Droins continued to manage their estate over the centuries and took on responsibilities within the wine-growing community. Thus, Louis Droin was elected president of the Union of Winegrowers of Chablis in 1923, which would become the Syndicat de Défense de l'Appellation Chablis, of which Jean-Paul Droin was one of the vice-presidents. The latter took over the family estate in 1983, supported by his son Benoît, to whom he handed over the reins in 2014.
Benoit Droin cultivates 26 hectares located in the finest terroirs of Chablis and spread across the four appellation levels: Petit Chablis, Chablis, nine Premiers Crus, and five Grands Crus.

Valmur is a very powerful, massive climate with a lot of minerality. This gives the wine an austerity and restraint that characterize the great wines of Chablis. We find yellow and white-fleshed fruits like peach or apricot. In sunny years, these notes evolve towards candied fruits and quince. In cool years, floral notes like hawthorn give the wine from this climate all its distinction. It is a great wine for laying down and it generally takes more than 10 years for the wine to fully release its substance.
