Tasting notes
The 2019 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a clean and pure bouquet with yellow plum, jasmine, crushed stone and light fumé scents that retain focus and precision. Here, the oak is used prudently. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, fresh and vibrant, very harmonious with a less spicy but more nuanced and terroir-expressive finish than its peers. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos has turned out brilliantly, mingling aromas of orange oil, confit citrus and crisp green apple with notes of warm bread, white flowers, oyster shell and anise in an incipiently complex bouquet. Full-bodied, layered and muscular, it's concentrated and tightly wound, with broad shoulders and huge depth at the core, concluding with a long, electric finish. It was cropped at 25 hectoliters per hectare.
Incredible wine here with cooked-apple, lemon-curd, vanilla-bean and praline aromas that follow through to a full body with layers of fruit and a long, flavorful finish. It shows aniseed, licorice and fennel seed.
