2017 Chablis Les Clos
Buying options
Tasting notes
The wood regimen is more completely integrated and more easily allows the aromas of sea breeze, shellfish, petrol and mineral reduction to be appreciated. There is excellent intensity and muscle to the succulent, powerful and markedly rich big-bodied flavors that are supported by a firm acid spine on the clean, dry and focused finale that is almost chewy. This robust effort will need at least a few years but should be lovely in time. 2029+

The 2017 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru is quite rich and powerful, but also heavily marked by oak. Tropical fruit, exotic spice and strong oak inflections give the Clos its breadth and sweetness. It would be nice to see a little more Clos personality. Even so, the 2017 is nicely done.
