Note di degustazione
Bright light yellow. Deeper and riper on the nose than the "classic" Clos, dominated by yellow stone fruits (these vines are situated at the base of the hill, where there's more clay in the soil). Then fatter and sweeter on the palate too, showing more apricot than citrus fruits, as well as an oak element. Quite different from the other Clos but tactile, dusty and solid, finishing with outstanding salty persistence. For a fleshy Chablis, this shows compelling inner-mouth tension but it's less spiky and reduced than the classic Clos and should be approachable earlier.

The 2015 Chablis Grand Cru les Clos des Hospices has a touch more vigor and detail on the nose compared to the regular les Clos this year with scents of pink grapefruit, granite and a touch of rose petal emerging with time. The palate is very well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, tensile and energetic with real precision and detail on the mineral-driven finish. This is a wonderful, sophisticated Chablis that lingers in the mouth a couple of minutes after the wine has departed. Superb.
(there was more hail damage here than in the Moreaus' portion of Clos higher on the hillside): Slightly exotic aroma of ripe pineapple. Dense and rich but holding a good bit of CO2 and difficult to judge today. Shows more texture and salinity than the classic Clos, and finishes classically dry and long, with a touch of youthful dryness. Easier to taste today than the regular Clos but this will still require patience.
