2013 Chablis Les Clos

The 2013 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos spent 24 months in stainless steel, half of that on the lees. It has a commendable, well-defined grassy, granite-scented bouquet that is extremely focused and nicely poised. The palate is fresh on the entry with Granny Smith apples, pear and a touch of white pepper, not the longest Les Clos you will ever encounter, but at the end of the day well-crafted, given the pressures during the season.
