Tasting notes
Once again there is ample wood influence to the compositionally similar nose to the Blanchots where about the only difference is a more pronounced floral character. The palate impression of the slightly bigger-bodied flavors is even more refined with more minerality as well, particularly on the complex backend where a hint of bitter lemon arises on the youthfully austere finish.

The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos comes from 29-year-old vines and is raised in 65% stainless steel and 35% oak barrels for ten months. It has an open and expressive, slate and Alpine streams-scented bouquet that is precise and conveys a sense of joie de vivre. The palate is very well balanced, with a fine thread of acidity building with conviction on the mouth toward a long and persistent, slightly creamy finish. There are touches of ginger on the aftertaste that complete a very accomplished and delicious les Clos. Aug 2017, www.robertparker.com
