Tasting notes
The 2021 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru feels just a bit monotone compared to its peers. It has attractive purity with scents of yellow fruit and orange pith, though it lacks genuine complexity and race. The palate is well balanced with orange zest and lime on the entry. The oak is well integrated, fresh and saline with an almost clinical finish. Good persistency here…it just needs to give more aromatically. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Aromas of orange zest, peach, oyster shells, white flowers and freshly baked bread preface the 2021 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, a full-bodied, layered and textural wine of impressive breadth and depth in this vintage, exhibiting considerable concentration and concluding with a long, electric finish. This will delight Chablis purists.
Cool and strikingly elegant aromas include those of quinine, white peach, spice and an abundance of classic Chablis notes. The dense yet wonderfully refined medium-weight flavors brim with dry extract on the gorgeously long, balanced and highly complex finale. This is extremely stylish and very promising. (93-95)/2033+
