Tasting notes
As usual, the 2017 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos Clos des Hospices dans Les Clos is richer and broader than the domaine's regular Les Clos, revealing a lavish bouquet of peaches, honeycomb, yellow orchard fruit, fresh pastry and white flowers. On the palate, it's full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, though balanced by lively acids and concluding with a penetrating finish. The choice between the two is more a matter of taste than of quality.

This is stunning. A richer and more expressive and more exuberant nose than the regular Les Clos bottling. A complete array of yellow stone fruit and citrus fruit on show here. The palate has a very fleshy and very smooth, white-nectarine and white-peach core. Long, sleek and elegant.
The 2017 Chablis Les Clos Clos des Hospices Grand Cru has a very well defined bouquet, but a little tight and backward at the moment, gradually unfurling to reveal blood orange, honeysuckle and a slightly resinous tincture. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, and cohesive with a finish that surfeits with tension and sense of energy. This is a complex, quite cerebral but delicious Les Clos.
