Note di degustazione
(just a single one-year-old Chassin 200-liter barrel produced; Billaud's vines are high on the hillside, near Blanchots and next to Faiveley's holding, in a zone where there's a lot of fan leaf virus; in fact, Faiveley has decided to hold back their tiny quantity of 2015 Clos for a future anniversary celebration): Bright yellow. Rather cool scents of ginger, cinnamon, white pepper and crushed rock. The palate displays a juicy, tight core of lemony citricity, with terrific energy and penetrating acidity. Very fresh, tight grand cru with nothing exotic about it; less fat and more salty than the Valmur. Finishes brisk and palate-staining. A baby today and built for extended aging.

The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos, from a plot close to Faiveley towards the top of the vineyard, was reduced to two barrels this vintage. It seems to shrug off the hail damage on the nose: well defined with crisp citrus fruit, quince and apricot blossom. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity and a slight marine note towards the finish, with hints of crustacea and a pinch of white pepper. This is a mercurial les Clos that seems to constantly change in the glass. Sophistication and class—that is all.
