Note di degustazione
The 2023 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos has turned out very nicely, revealing aromas of sweet orchard fruit, white flowers, freshly baked bread and wet stones, followed by a full-bodied, ample and satiny palate with a deep core of fruit and chalky grip on the finish.

Three plots with old vines, made in 500 litre barrels and an earthenware egg. Lemon and lime. A more classic Chablis nose, with slightly more energy and less soft, the fruit with a little fresh apricot increasing at the back of the palate, a light toastiness, just needing a little more of the white limestone feel to be a quintessential Clos.
Cask sample. Glorious right from the get-go – as if it cannot wait to fly out the starting blocks and, arrow-like, run the race to win. Deep Seville-orange and green-mandarin notes. Glittering intensity and somehow compact, yet with a thousand tiny spaces of light in every molecule. Etchy edgy saltiness, as if the minerality were made of crushed salt rocks. An almost inaudible hum of caramel. Already way, way too delicious and drinkable. (TC)
The 2023 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru underwent partial fermentation in grès (sandstone) eggs that have more porosity, plus 500-liter barrels. This has an attractive nose with hints of yellow flowers, white peach and tangerine, much more expressive than the previous vintage. Taut and crisp, the palate is well balanced with fine definition and a touch of white pepper. There is good weight on the finish. This is a Les Clos that is worth hunting down.
